We present a 7 Tesla fMRI proof-of-concept study of the first letter speller BCI that decodes imagined letter shapes from activity patterns in early visual cortical areas. New tools are developed to enable real-time population receptive field retinotopic mapping for encoding and decoding. Using two different letter shapes (H and T), classification performance of generated activity patterns during imagery reaches 80% accuracy in each individual. Using a denoising autoencoder, recognizable letter shapes could be reconstructed and displayed as feedback to participants in the scanner.
