Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
This repository provides an index and overview of open neuroimaging datasets specifically for reconstructing visual perception from human fMRI data. It serves as a guide for AI and machine learning researchers who may lack neuroimaging expertise, helping them avoid common pitfalls in visual perception reconstruction research. The content addresses misunderstandings about fMRI data limitations and dataset constraints that can lead to misleading results in AI conference submissions.

This guide is primarily aimed at researchers from AI and machine learning backgrounds who may not be familiar with neuroimaging methodology.
Reconstruction from neuroimaging data has recently gained popularity at major AI conferences, but many approaches fall into common traps that are well known within neuroscience.
These pitfalls can lead to misleading results, often due to misunderstandings about the nature of fMRI data or the limitations of datasets originally collected for other purposes.
