Visual decoding is most useful when it recognizes novel content rather than a fixed catalogue learned during training. Given a single EEG epoch recorded during natural-image viewing, identify the viewed image by ranking held-out candidates in a frozen DINOv2 embedding space. Training and test images do not overlap, so the cross-stimulus shift probes whether neural representations transfer beyond memorized concepts. Research-grade and consumer-grade datasets add source and hardware variability while keeping the task anchored to time-locked visual responses. Metric: Top-5 retrieval accuracy against the held-out candidate set, with higher scores indicating better performance.
