New Vis-Lens framework generates preferred images for AI and human brains

Researchers have developed a novel framework called Vis-Lens that generates preferred images by modifying latent codes, offering insights into both biological and artificial neural networks. This approach integrates a variational autoencoder with a diffusion model to create realistic images without iterative optimization. The framework has been successfully applied to artificial neural networks and the human visual cortex, demonstrating improved activation modulation and image realism compared to existing methods. AI
