# fMRI Encoding on Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) subjects 1, 2, 5, 7 (avg) (test) Source: [fMRI Encoding on Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) subjects 1, 2, 5, 7 (avg) (test)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-06-04T12:48:43.926Z Evaluation of fMRI encoding models using averaged data across subjects 1, 2, 5, and 7 from the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) test set, measured by Pearson correlation and Mean Squared Error (MSE). A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | fMRI Encoding | | Dataset (including any stated split) | Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) subjects 1, 2, 5, 7 (avg) 7T (test) | | Metric | Pearson Correlation | | Unit | SCALAR | | Direction | Higher is better | | Results loaded | 16 of 16 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [Pearson Correlation](): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR. - [MSE](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | Pearson Correlation | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CHASMBrain | 0.429 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | DINOv2 linear probe | 0.41 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | DINOv2 linear probe | 0.407 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | DINOv2 linear probe | 0.403 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | Universal Encoder | 0.392 | Not recorded | 68fa77871e209131cea73d81 | | Ridge Regression (best α) | 0.368 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | DINOv2 linear probe | 0.366 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | NRF | 0.358 | Not recorded | 68fa77871e209131cea73d81 | | MindSimulator | 0.355 | Not recorded | 68fa77871e209131cea73d81 | | fWRF | 0.343 | Not recorded | 68fa77871e209131cea73d81 | | SynBrain | 0.338 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | BrainDIVE | 0.323 | Not recorded | 68fa77871e209131cea73d81 | | MindSimulator | 0.322 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | GRU | 0.237 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | LSTM | 0.232 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | | MLP | 0.231 | Not recorded | 6a210703c10484bac23f07ec | ### CHASMBrain Pearson Correlation: 0.429.
