The evaluation\nscenarios for this task have not yet been standardized which makes it difficult\nto compare and interpret results. We perform a series of evaluation experiments\nwith a consistent encoding setup and compute the results for multiple fMRI\ndatasets. In addition, we test the sensitivity of the evaluation measures to\nrandomized data and analyze the effect of voxel selection methods. Our\nexperimental framework is publicly available to make modelling decisions more\ntransparent and support reproducibility for future comparisons.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1904.02547v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.02547v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"robust-evaluation-of-language-brain-encoding","repo_url":"https://github.com/beinborn/brain-lang","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"sensitivity","task_name":"Sensitivity"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1904.02547","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
