1) Huth lab and Gallant lab are extremely highly regarding in fMRI encoding/decoding, plus their code and models are released as open source; much admiration for that. There were some follow up studies to the visual decoding thing which is getting more sophisticated w/ diffusion models and other ML techniques improving the accuracy of semantic and visual coding - I think a few were presented at NEURIPS this year spooky thought - using the output from a Huth-style semantic decoder into the Eddie Chang-lab/UCSF vocal synthesizer? 2) I would say, the neuroethical part of things is growing in importance. What's available in the lab still is way more sophisticated than the devices out in the field - DBS, rTMS, ambulatory EEG, but it's worth having that discussion. 3) Given the above - almost a decade after Obama BRAIN - the lab demonstrations are getting better and better...but none of them have joined DBS, rTMS, ambulatory EEG as something in routine use - i.e. I cannot order an fMRI decoder on a patient in any practical shape or form, or get it covered by Medicare....
