用脑电波解码看第一视角视频时的6维空间位置,无需主动参与。
Spontaneous Spatial Cognition Emerges during Egocentric Video Viewing through Non-invasive BCI
- 通过脑电设备解码被动观看视频时的三维位置与朝向变化。
- 100毫秒帧率下解码准确率最高,匹配大脑内在时间节奏。
- 揭示了大脑在被动状态下仍自动构建空间地图的神经机制。
人类具备强大的空间认知能力,可在陌生环境中实现自我定位。尽管海马体中编码位置与朝向的神经元已被充分研究,但自然状态、被动体验下的大尺度神经动态支持空间表征仍不清晰。本研究首次证明,基于脑电图(EEG)的非侵入式脑机接口可解码被动观看第一视角视频时的精细6维自身体位(三维位置+三维朝向)。尽管EEG空间分辨率低、噪声高,但结构化连续视觉输入能稳定激发可解码的空间表征,且与受试者主观空间参与感一致。当视频以每帧100毫秒的帧率呈现时,解码性能更优,提示其与大脑内在神经时间动态相吻合。利用梯度反向传播分析解码模型,识别出不同脑电通道分别贡献于位置与朝向的编码,揭示了一种分布但互补的神经编码模式。结果表明,大脑的空间系统在被动条件下仍自发持续运作,挑战了主动与被动空间认知的传统区分。本研究为非侵入性观察自身体空间地图的自动构建提供了新窗口,深化了对人类心智如何将日常感官经验转化为结构化内部表征的理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Humans possess a remarkable capacity for spatial cognition, allowing for self-localization even in novel or unfamiliar environments. While hippocampal neurons encoding position and orientation are well documented, the large-scale neural dynamics supporting spatial representation, particularly during naturalistic, passive experience, remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on electroencephalography (EEG) can decode spontaneous, fine-grained egocentric 6D pose, comprising three-dimensional position and orientation, during passive viewing of egocentric video. Despite EEG's limited spatial resolution and high signal noise, we find that spatially coherent visual input (i.e., continuous and structured motion) reliably evokes decodable spatial representations, aligning with participants' subjective sense of spatial engagement. Decoding performance further improves when visual input is presented at a frame rate of 100 ms per image, suggesting alignment with intrinsic neural temporal dynamics. Using gradient-based backpropagation through a neural decoding model, we identify distinct EEG channels contributing to position -- and orientation specific -- components, revealing a distributed yet complementary neural encoding scheme. These findings indicate that the brain's spatial systems operate spontaneously and continuously, even under passive conditions, challenging traditional distinctions between active and passive spatial cognition. Our results offer a non-invasive window into the automatic construction of egocentric spatial maps and advance our understanding of how the human mind transforms everyday sensory experience into structured internal representations.
