fMRI2GES: Co-speech Gesture Reconstruction from fMRI Signal with Dual Brain Decoding Alignment
- 通过双脑解码对齐,实现无配对数据的脑信号到手势重建。
- 从fMRI信号中成功还原出富有表现力的共言语手势。
- 适用于神经科学与认知科学研究,探索大脑如何编码动作。
理解大脑对外部刺激的响应并解码这一过程是神经科学中的重大挑战。以往研究多聚焦于脑到图像、脑到语言的重建,而本文致力于从感知言语刺激的大脑活动中重建伴随的肢体动作。由于缺乏成对的{脑、语言、手势}数据,深度学习模型的应用受到限制。为此,我们提出新方法fMRI2GES,利用双脑解码对齐,在无配对数据条件下训练脑信号到手势的重建网络。该方法依赖两个关键组件:(i) 引发大脑反应的原始文本,(ii) 与手势相关联的文本描述。不采用完全监督的三模态映射训练,而是结合一个已有的脑到文本模型、一个带配对数据的文本到手势模型,以及一个无配对数据的脑到手势模型,构建双重脑到手势重建路径。随后,显式对齐两路输出,并以自监督方式训练模型。实验表明,该方法可直接从fMRI记录中重建出富有表现力的共言语手势。我们还分析了皮层不同脑区(ROIs)的fMRI信号对生成结果的影响。整体上,本工作为解码共言语手势提供了新视角,推动了神经科学与认知科学的理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding how the brain responds to external stimuli and decoding this process has been a significant challenge in neuroscience. While previous studies typically concentrated on brain-to-image and brain-to-language reconstruction, our work strives to reconstruct gestures associated with speech stimuli perceived by brain. Unfortunately, the lack of paired \{brain, speech, gesture\} data hinders the deployment of deep learning models for this purpose. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach, \textbf{fMRI2GES}, that allows training of fMRI-to-gesture reconstruction networks on unpaired data using \textbf{Dual Brain Decoding Alignment}. This method relies on two key components: (i) observed texts that elicit brain responses, and (ii) textual descriptions associated with the gestures. Then, instead of training models in a completely supervised manner to find a mapping relationship among the three modalities, we harness an fMRI-to-text model, a text-to-gesture model with paired data and an fMRI-to-gesture model with unpaired data, establishing dual fMRI-to-gesture reconstruction patterns. Afterward, we explicitly align two outputs and train our model in a self-supervision way. We show that our proposed method can reconstruct expressive gestures directly from fMRI recordings. We also investigate fMRI signals from different ROIs in the cortex and how they affect generation results. Overall, we provide new insights into decoding co-speech gestures, thereby advancing our understanding of neuroscience and cognitive science.
