Brain scans reveal shared geometry in human visual cortex representations

Researchers have demonstrated that human brain representations of visual stimuli exhibit a shared underlying geometry. Using fMRI data and a self-supervised encoder, they learned subject-specific embeddings and showed these could be translated across individuals through unsupervised geometric transformations. This suggests that neural representations in the visual cortex are approximately isometric and compatible with a common coordinate system, potentially extending the concept of Platonic representations beyond artificial neural networks.
