A zero-shot learning approach to the development of brain-computer interfaces for image retrieval.

Brain decoding-the process of inferring a person's momentary cognitive state from their brain activity-has enormous potential in the field of human-computer interaction. In this study we propose a zero-shot EEG-to-image brain decoding approach which makes use of state-of-the-art EEG preprocessi...
