Our web site has recently been redesigned. Hopefully the change will make the site’s content more readily accessible to everyone.

Our paper was accepted by Neuroreport. “Neural art appraisal of painter: Dali or Picasso?,” by Yamamura H., Sawahata Y., Yamamoto M., and Kamitani Y.

fMRI data for our visual image reconstruction experiments can be downloaded from here. Please test your ideas on our data!
