We modeled shared representational spaces in macaque brains using fMRI data from 12 rhesus monkeys obtained during movie-viewing and response hyperalignment (RHA). RHA greatly improved inter-subject correlation of movie response time-series in occipital, temporal, and prefrontal cortices and afforded highly accurate between-subject decoding of movie time-points and estimation of idiosyncratic functional topographies. These results reveal shared high-dimensional, high capacity representational spaces encoded in idiosyncratic fine- and coarse-grained functional topographies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
