recordings, this study addresses the limitations imposed by traditional onedimensional
analysis of fMRI data. Our goal was to maintain the spatial information of fMRI data by
employing a two-dimensional cortical surface-based analytical framework, aiming to
enhance fMRI representation of neural responses. After converting volumetric fMRI scans
into 2D surface data, we use Vision Transformers and Latent Diffusion Models to learn from …
