The Courtois project on Neural Modelling (cneuromod) aims at training artificial neural networks to mimic extensive experimental data on individual human brain activity and behaviour.

brain–model alignment scores for human participants playing Super Mario Bros. Models include (1) a conventional convolutional neural network trained on the task, and (2) the raw NES console memory. Both show comparable alignment on the training levels but a sharp drop to near-zero alignment on unseen levels, highlighting poor out-of-distribution generalization.

Large bold text reads:
6 BRAINS – 987H-fMRI – 18 TASKS
Followed by the subtitle:
Naturalistic & Controlled – Multimodal / Perception + Action
Each letter in "18 TASKS" contains thumbnails from various visual tasks.

The central table summarizes 32 datasets grouped by primary domain (Vision, Audition, Language, Memory, Action, Other). For each dataset, the table indicates which stimulus modalities were used (Vision, Speech, Audio, Motion), what responses were collected (Physiology, Eye tracking, Explanations, Actions), and how many sessions and subjects were scanned. The overall visual style is playful and bold, with rainbow colors for modality types and rich iconography indicating data types.
