For those who don't have journal access, here's the part that you're probably most interested in: http://imgur.com/xzNwUTL

The left column is the original image. Next to it is a non-neural PCA/Eigenface reconstruction. Next to that are the reconstructions from a variety of brain regions.

Would someone please upload the PDF for those of us who don't have academic logins? The current state of affairs precludes people from thinking critically. Instead we're forced to take publications at face value.

I'm away from campus now. I'll post if I remember. But for now, this is one of the investigator's website: http://camplab.psych.yale.edu/papers.html

He seems to have a pretty good track record of posting his papers there. This one isn't up yet (for one thing it isn't really fully published yet). Maybe you can check back later...

I know, it's super shitty. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I leave school.

Here's the PDF. Science publishing sucks.

You're wonderful! Thank you so much.

If I'm interpreting the visuals there correctly and some assumptions from it are correct (neither all that likely), it looks like it's fairly accurate at first, and the more images that are shown and reconstructed the more bleed-through of prior images can be sees when reconstructing.

The caption for this image seems to indicate that the reconstructed images shown here are averaged over all test subjects; i.e., no one test subject was able to reconstruct the faces as well. There were only six of them, I suppose, but still.

My god. Those faces are like something out of my worst nightmares.
