fMRI responses correspond to normalized single-trial betas output from GLMSingle (Prince et al., 2022). We use preprocessed flattened fMRI voxels in 1.8-mm native volume space corresponding to the “nsdgeneral” brain region, defined by the NSD authors as the subset of voxels in posterior cortex most responsive to the visual stimuli presented (between 13,000 to 16,000 voxels per participant). MindEye2 was developed using a training and test set of subject 1’s data, with other subjects’ data untouched until final training of models. The fMRI data from both the training and test set was normalized using a voxel-wise Z-scoring procedure using the mean and standard deviation calculated using only the training set. Despite the shared1000 test trials being distributed across the scanning sessions for each subject, we chose to keep the test set consistent no matter the number of sessions being used for training. We also adjusted the number of training sessions after the normalization step, allowing us to keep the statistical properties of the shared1000 test set consistent between experiments with varying amounts of training data. This may inadvertently give a small normalization advantage to models trained with fewer training sessions, as the models are normalized with additional data not made available for training.
