Decoding Emotion from EEG: Introducing NOVA
May 25, 2026
Today, we are introducing NOVA (Neural Observations of Video-evoked Affect), a large-scale dataset of emotion-evoking videos paired with EEG recordings.
Technology exists to improve the human experience, but it can't improve what it can't see. Current HCI modalities are not sufficient to capture the totality of the human experience. It is essential that we develop new ways to communicate with machines to ensure they are aligned to our needs and intentions.

ENIGMA is a new multi-subject decoding model that reconstructs seen images from EEG signals with state-of-the-art accuracy. By learning a shared “visual language” across different brains, the model can adapt to a new user in minutes rather than hours, bringing practical Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) closer to reality.

We introduce the largest public dataset for EEG-image decoding: 6+ hours of recordings per participant across 20 subjects, collected using consumer-grade hardware. We model neural scaling laws and demonstrate log-linear scaling.

The first and only dataset for complex mental imagery reconstruction from fMRI. Accepted to CVPR (Highlight paper).
Alljoined is doing foundational work in neural decoding. We partner with researchers and labs who are excited to build the next generation of BCI and Neurotech.
