Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models increasingly rely on multi-dataset training and evaluation, yet public EEG datasets still lack a shared task specification layer that can turn heterogeneous recordings into reusable benchmark units. Existing standards organize files, metadata, and provenance, but they do not specify EEG tasks under a common language and rulebook, leaving critical task semantics scattered across papers, code, and manual interpretation.
arXiv:2608. 04156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis extends beyond assigning predefined labels to recordings; it requires workflows connecting natural-language instructions, signal processing, quantitative evidence, and scientific interpretation.

NeuroAtlas is the largest EEG benchmark to date, comprising 42 datasets and 260,000 hours of clinical EEG data across epilepsy, sleep medicine, brain age estimation, and brain‑computer interfaces. The study evaluates foundation models (FMs) for EEG against supervised baselines and generic time‑series FMs, finding that EEG‑specific FMs do not consistently outperform generic ones. It also demonstrates that standard machine‑learning metrics are inadequate for clinical relevance, advocating for task‑specific measures such as event‑level decision quality, hypnogram features, and brain‑age gap.

EEG-Captioner introduces a new EEG-to-language framework that grounds language generation in measurable EEG signal properties. The authors built a large dataset of 160,781 EEG segments annotated with question‑answer pairs targeting spectral, spatial, temporal, and lateral properties, and paired each segment with a feature‑grounded caption. Their Dual‑Domain EEG Encoder jointly models temporal waveforms and spectral‑spatial representations, achieving a macro‑averaged balanced accuracy of 88.81% on signal‑level QA and improving caption factual consistency from 82.06% to 83.46% compared to caption‑only models.

OneEEG is a unified signal‑visual multimodal language model designed for multi‑task EEG understanding. It jointly learns from numerical EEG data and visual EEG renderings, employing a task‑aware Mixture of Projectors to align diverse EEG features with a large language model’s embedding space. The authors introduce the OneEEG‑Instruct dataset for instruction tuning and the OneEEG‑Bench benchmark to evaluate performance, demonstrating that existing multimodal LLMs struggle with EEG inputs while OneEEG outperforms them across various tasks.

EEG-HealthLLM introduces a hierarchical adaptation framework that unifies heterogeneous EEG health assessments using large language models. Task‑specific EEG adapters preserve unique spatio‑temporal dynamics, while a shared LoRA module in the LLM backbone captures common high‑level assessment semantics. The new EEG‑HealthBench benchmark reorganizes five EEG datasets into five health‑assessment tasks, and experiments show EEG‑HealthLLM achieves the highest average balanced accuracy and macro‑F1, improving performance while reducing adapter size by 80%.
