An action decoding framework combined with deep neural network for predicting the semantics of human actions in videos from evoked brain activities by Yuanyuan Zhang, Manli Tian, Baolin Liu

“…To improve decoding accuracy, we join by adding the nonlocal-attention mechanism module to the X3D model to capture long-range temporal and spatial dependence, proposing a multilayer perceptron (MLP) module of multi-task loss constraint to build a more accurate regression mapping approach and performing data enhancement through linear interpolation to expand the amount of data to reduce the impact of a small sample.Results and discussionOur findings indicate that the features in the X3D-DNN are biologically relevant, and capture information useful for perception. The proposed method enriches the semantic decoding model. We have also conducted several experiments with data from different subsets of brain regions known to process visual stimuli. …”
