Image-computable models designed for prediction of fMRI BOLD signals have been shown to generalize well to iEEG broadband for simple stimuli. We show that models with complex feature spaces (DNNs) that have been used to predict natural image responses in fMRI signals can also be trained to predict iEEG broadband responses. The high temporal sampling afforded by iEEG signal enable us to precisely locate the onset of activity and characterize the temporal evolution of representational tuning at various recording sites. We show that the temporal onset is strongly correlated with network tuning depth across all subjects. Furthermore, we show that tuning properties in several channels vary over time after onset, with retinotopic representations subsiding and feature tuning drifting toward more semantic-like representations.
