The neural basis of object recognition and semantic knowledge has been extensively studied but the high dimensionality of object space makes it challenging to develop overarching theories on how the brain organises object knowledge. To help understand how the brain allows us to recognise, categorise, and represent objects and object categories, there is a growing interest in using large-scale image databases for neuroimaging experiments. In the current paper, we present THINGS-EEG, a dataset containing human electroencephalography responses from 50 subjects to 1,854 object concepts and 22,248 images in the THINGS stimulus set, a manually curated and high-quality image database that was specifically designed for studying human vision. The THINGS-EEG dataset provides neuroimaging recordings to a systematic collection of objects and concepts and can therefore support a wide array of research to understand visual object processing in the human brain.

Decoding visual representations from human brain activity has emerged as a thriving research domain, particularly in the context of brain-computer interfaces. Our study presents an innovative method that employs knowledge distillation to train an EEG classifier and reconstruct images from the ImageNet and THINGS-EEG 2 datasets using only electroencephalography (EEG) data from participants who have viewed the images themselves (i.e.

Spatio-temporal patterns of evoked brain activity contain information that can be used to decode and categorize the semantic content of visual stimuli. However, this procedure can be biased by low-level image features independently of the semantic content present in the stimuli, prompting the need to understand the robustness of different models regarding these confounding factors. In this study, we trained machine learning models to distinguish between concepts included in the publicly available THINGS-EEG dataset using electroencephalography (EEG) data acquired during a rapid serial visual presentation paradigm.
