Yes, they look like they are plumping up. Keep on doing what you're doing and maybe it will fill in. My alien eye brain looked half dead when I got it and parts receded to the skeleton. The color was horrible. I put it in the very top spot in my tank and target fed it after lights-out about once a week (plus I feed my fish often so it's getting some from that too). After a month (a loooooong month) it is getting its amazing color back and even growing into the skeleton areas.
