Electroencephalography (EEG)-based visual perception reconstruction has become an important area of research. Neuroscientific studies indicate that humans can decode imagined 3D objects by perceiving or imagining various visual information, such as color, shape, and rotation. Existing EEG-based visual decoding methods typically focus only on the reconstruction of 2D visual stimulus images and face various challenges in generation quality, including inconsistencies in texture, shape, and color between the visual stimuli and the reconstructed images. This paper proposes an EEG-based 3D object reconstruction method with style consistency and diffusion priors. The method consists of an EEG-driven multi-task joint learning stage and an EEG-to-3D diffusion stage. The first stage uses a neural EEG encoder based on regional semantic learning, employing a multi-task joint learning scheme that includes a masked EEG signal recovery task and an EEG based visual classification task. The second stage introduces a latent diffusion model (LDM) fine-tuning strategy with style-conditioned constraints and a neural radiance field (NeRF) optimization strategy. This strategy explicitly embeds semantic- and location-aware latent EEG codes and combines them with visual stimulus maps to fine-tune the LDM. The fine-tuned LDM serves as a diffusion prior, which, combined with the style loss of visual stimuli, is used to optimize NeRF for generating 3D objects. Finally, through experimental validation, we demonstrate that this method can effectively use EEG data to reconstruct 3D objects with style consistency.

Partial Label Learning (PLL) aims to learn from the data where each training instance is associated with a set of candidate labels, among which only one is correct. Most existing methods deal with such problem by either treating each candidate label equally or identifying the ground-truth label iteratively. In this paper, we propose a novel PLL approach called HERA, which simultaneously incorporates the HeterogEneous Loss and the SpaRse and Low-rAnk procedure to estimate the labeling confidence for each instance while training the model. Specifically, the heterogeneous loss integrates the strengths of both the pairwise ranking loss and the pointwise reconstruction loss to provide informative label ranking and reconstruction information for label identification, while the embedded sparse and low-rank scheme constrains the sparsity of ground-truth label matrix and the low rank of noise label matrix to explore the global label relevance among the whole training data for improving the learning model. Extensive experiments on both artificial and real-world data sets demonstrate that our method can achieve superior or comparable performance against the state-of-the-art methods.
