Thanks for forwarding that paper. But figure 4 is, to me, WAY more interesting than figures 1 or 3.
High-resolution image reconstruction with latent diffusion models from human
brain activity

And to understand why, consider taking a look at this:
Registration Pluralism and the Cartographic Approach to Data Aggregation across Brains
https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1093/bjps/axz027
"Registration" is used in the same way we've been using it, perhaps more at the cash register, play-doh, or cookie cutter extrusion than the logging/naming sense. But it makes the point well that although within any 1 person, fMRI results can be fairly stable, across individuals, not so much. Ward makes a compelling argument for pluralism.
Yes, I know, I'm equivocating on "dualism". Y'all consistently mean Cartesian mind-body stuff. But pluralism really does extend to "mind" methods when they work best and body methods when they work best, which is why JEHSmith's largely mental narrative is important to the MoA for psychedelics.
Monism is a dead-end ... or worse, it's faith-based. Pluralism rules, dude.
