Researchers have introduced Retrieval-Augmented Visual Prompting (RAVP), a novel framework designed to guide foundation models in specialized tasks like two-photon calcium imaging. Instead of fine-tuning model weights, RAVP injects external visual memory directly into the model's input at inference time. This method uses retrieved annotated exemplars as concept prompts, enabling adaptation through input design alone. Experiments on the Allen Brain Observatory dataset demonstrated that RAVP consistently improves zero-shot neuron detection and instance segmentation, with a single well-chosen exemplar proving more effective than multiple retrieved examples.
