## Summary  
BrainJanus introduces a unified model that jointly models brain activity, vision, and language within a single framework. It proposes a Unified Brain Tokenizer to discretize continuous neural dynamics into tokens aligned with visual and linguistic representations in a shared Omni space. The All‑in‑One autoregressive architecture enables any‑to‑any generation across modalities—image‑to‑brain, text‑to‑brain, brain‑to‑image, and brain‑to‑text. Experiments show that BrainJanus outperforms prior approaches, achieves zero‑shot generalization, and preserves interpretable biological topography.

## Key Contributions  
- [Finding 1] A unified multimodal framework that jointly encodes brain, vision, and language without relying on external priors.  
- [Finding 2] The Unified Brain Tokenizer quantizes neural activity into discrete tokens aligned with visual and linguistic representations in a shared Omni space.  
- [Finding 3] An All‑in‑One autoregressive model enables any‑to‑any generation (image‑to‑brain, text‑to‑brain, brain‑to‑image, brain‑to‑text) with zero‑shot transfer.

## Methodology  
The authors approach the problem by first quantizing continuous neural dynamics into tokens via the Unified Brain Tokenizer, mapping these tokens to a shared Omni space where visual and linguistic tokens co‑exist. They then train an autoregressive architecture that predicts the next token across modalities using cross‑modal attention, allowing bidirectional correspondence between brain activity, images, and text without external constraints.

## Results  
Experiments on benchmark multimodal tasks demonstrate higher accuracy than existing models; BrainJanus achieves zero‑shot generalization across image‑to‑brain and text‑to‑brain encodings. Ablation studies confirm that each component—tokenizer, Omni space, and autoregressive decoder—contributes essential performance gains. The model also preserves topographic maps consistent with known brain anatomy.

## Significance  
This work bridges neuroscience and artificial intelligence by providing a general‑purpose paradigm for modeling sensory integration while respecting biological constraints. It opens the door to interpretable deep learning that can be applied across diverse applications, from medical imaging to language generation.
