We followed the same image preprocessing and the same two-way identification steps as Ozcelik and VanRullen (2023) and Scotti et al. (2023). For two-way identification, for each model, we computed the Pearson correlation between embeddings for the ground truth image and the reconstructed image, as well as the correlation between the ground truth image and a different reconstruction elsewhere in the test set. If the correlation for the former was higher than the latter, this was marked as correct. For each test sample, performance was averaged across all possible pairwise comparisons using the other 999 reconstructions to ensure no bias from random sample selection. This yielded 1,000 averaged percent correct outputs, which we averaged across to obtain the metrics reported in Table 1. This paper is available on arxiv under CC BY 4.0 DEED license.
