Training neural networks from scratch in a videogame leads to brittle brain encoding

2025-12-02

Abstract excerpt

Recent brain-encoding studies using videogame tasks suggest that the training objective of an artificial neural network plays a central role in how well the network’s representations align with brain activity. This study investigates the alignment of artificial neural network activations with brain activity elicited by a video game task using models trained from scratch in controlled settings. We specifically comp...
