Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a semantic content estimation method based on a question and answer generation model using brain activity data during image gazing. The proposed method transforms fMRI data into image features and estimates semantic contents of gazed images using a Visual Question Answering (VQA) model to generate answers to questions about images. Furthermore, by fine-tuning the VQA model using brain activity data, it is possible to consider the image features' characteristics even when they are not estimated with high accuracy, and we can improve the estimation accuracy.
