# Neural Representation Alignment **Entity class:** Neural-decoding method **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] ## Definition **Neural Representation Alignment** is the alignment of neural activity spaces with shared semantic, behavioral, or model representation spaces. ## Relationships - **Technical relationship:** It supports cross-subject and multimodal decoding while raising provenance and individual-calibration questions under [[wiki/Semantic Capture at the Substrate Layer|Semantic Capture at the Substrate Layer]]. - **Canonical source:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]]. - **Collection relationship:** The entry belongs to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and the person-scale persistence questions maintained by [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]]. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry's documented connections are expressed in its definition and related-work routes, with provenance retained in the source-linked material. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Epistemic boundary Inclusion in the continuity stack records a documented component, method, model, or analytic distinction; it leaves whole-person transfer, subjective continuity, or numerical identity unresolved. ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]], **VII.
