SNAKE-fMRI: A modular fMRI data simulator from the space-time domain to k-space and back
We propose a new, modular, open-source, Python-based 3D+time fMRI data simulation software, \emph{SNAKE-fMRI}, which stands for \emph{S}imulator from \emph{N}eurovascular coupling to \emph{A}cquisition of \emph{K}-space data for \emph{E}xploration of fMRI acquisition techniques.Unlike existing tools, the goal here is to simulate the complete chain of fMRI data acquisition, from the spatio-temporal design of evoked brain responses to various multi-coil k-space data 3D sampling strategies, with the possibility of extending the forward acquisition model to various noise and artifact sources while remaining memory-efficient.By using this \emph{in silico} setup, we are thus able to provide realistic and reproducible ground truth for fMRI reconstruction methods in 3D accelerated acquisition settings and explore the influence of critical parameters, such as the acceleration factor and signal-to-noise ratio~(SNR), on downstream tasks of image reconstruction and statistical analysis of evoked brain activity.We present three scenarios of increasing complexity to showcase the flexibility, versatility, and fidelity of \emph{SNAKE-fMRI}: From a temporally-fixed full 3D Cartesian to various 3D non-Cartesian sampling patterns, we can compare -- with reproducibility guarantees -- how experimental paradigms, acquisition strategies and reconstruction methods contribute and interact together, affecting the downstream statistical analysis.

Leveraging Brain Modularity Prior for Interpretable Representation Learning of fMRI
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) can reflect spontaneous neural activities in brain and is widely used for brain disorder analysis.Previous studies propose to extract fMRI representations thr…

We study how modularity of the human brain changes as children develop into adults. Theory suggests that modularity can enhance the response function of a networked system subject to changing external stimuli. Thus, grea…
MindAlign: Decoding Inner Speech from fMRI Signals via Multimodal Embedding Alignment under Limited Data
Decoding inner speech from non-invasive brain signals remains a fundamental challenge due to the absence of overt linguistic output, limited training data, and large inter-subject variability. Existing brain-to-text appr…
Text GenerationFrom voxels to pixels and back: Self-supervision in natural-image reconstruction from fMRI
Reconstructing observed images from fMRI brain recordings is challenging. Unfortunately, acquiring sufficient "labeled" pairs of {Image, fMRI} (i.e., images with their corresponding fMRI responses) to span the huge space…
