An Exploratory Analysis of Pain Localization via Explainable Computational Modeling

Automatic pain localization, which involves identifying the anatomical origin of pain from peripheral physiological signals without patient self-report, is a clinically critical but largely unaddressed problem, particularly for non-verbal patients. This paper presents a systematic comparison of classical feature engineering and deep sequence learning for subject-independent three-class pain localization using the AI4Pain 2026 Challenge dataset, which comprises four synchronously recorded wearable modalities: electrodermal activity, blood volume pulse, respiration, and peripheral oxygen saturation recorded from 65 participants under controlled TENS-induced pain.

Prototype-based Self-Supervised Multimodal Learning for PPG and Accelerometry Signals

arXiv:2510. 09764v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modeling multi-modal time-series data is critical for capturing system-level dynamics, particularly in biosignals where modalities such as ECG, PPG, EDA, and accelerometry provide complementary perspectives on interconnected physiological processes.

CardioState-JEPA: Delay-Aware Cross-Modal Learning of a Shared Cardiac Representation

arXiv:2608. 12944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and phonocardiography (PCG) provide complementary views of the same cardiac cycle, yet existing cardiac foundation models are trained for a single sensing modality, leaving the shared physiology across sensors unexploited.

MorphologyFM: A Foundation Model for Morphology-Aware Representation Learning from ECG and Pulse Oximetry Waveforms

arXiv:2607. 09749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models have recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for learning transferable representations from large scale biomedical data, yet existing approaches for physiological waveforms primarily optimize reconstruction or forecasting objectives that do not explicitly preserve clinically meaningful waveform morphology.
