MANAS-2: Constrained Reconstruction for EEG Foundation Models
MANAS-2 is a new EEG foundation model that integrates a Raw‑Band Hybrid masked autoencoder with a physics‑motivated Constrained Reconstruction (ConRec) regularizer. ConRec penalizes RMS energy differences in short temporal windows, guiding the encoder toward oscillatory‑envelope organization. Across seven held‑out EEG datasets, adding ConRec improves spectral‑power recovery (R² from 0.860 to 0.906) and band‑energy dynamics (R² from 0.283 to 0.354), while maintaining strong temporal waveform recoverability and outperforming leading EEG models on downstream tasks.

Stress-Testing EEG Foundation Models for Clinical Decoding: Dataset Identity and Targeted Negative Controls
Pretrained EEG foundation models are increasingly proposed for clinical decoding, but their transfer across populations and robustness to negative controls remain unclear. We benchmark six models (LaBraM, EEGMamba, CBraMod, REVE, BENDR, and BIOT) on five clinical tasks across four datasets using frozen linear probes with leave-one-subject-out, subject-grouped, or explicitly identified recording-level splits.

Lightweight Adaptation of EEG Foundation Models for Stroke Motor Imagery Decoding: Domain Shift and Subject-Level Robustness
The study investigates whether Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) can adapt three pretrained EEG foundation models—LaBraM‑base, REVE‑base, and REVE‑large—for binary left‑ vs. right‑hand motor imagery decoding in stroke patients. Using subject‑wise five‑fold cross‑validation on the PhysioNet EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset and a binary subset of the UET175 stroke dataset, LoRA significantly improved accuracy for LaBraM‑base (0.822) and REVE‑base (0.957) on the healthy cohort, but only REVE‑base LoRA achieved high performance (0.847±0.194) on stroke data, with a best mean accuracy of 0.952 in leave‑one‑subject‑out evaluation. The results demonstrate that healthy‑benchmark performance does not guarantee transfer to stroke EEG, highlighting the need for target‑domain adaptation and subject‑level assessment in rehabilitation BCIs.

EEG-PRISM: Physiologically-Grounded Interpretability of Predictions by EEG Foundation Models
arXiv:2608. 13676v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: Foundation models represent the next advancement in AI for EEG analysis; however current explainable AI techniques provide attribution scores in the time-channel input space, which is mismatched to clinical intuition about EEG.

Graph Learning for Cross-Subject, Cross-Population EEG Emotion Decoding and Model-Derived Spatial-Spectral Neural Signatures
The paper introduces EmoDiPyraTrans, a development-regularized differential graph Transformer designed to decode emotions from EEG signals across unseen individuals and populations while maintaining neural interpretability. Evaluations on five datasets (SEED, FACED, MAHNOB-HCI, DEAP, DREAMER) show high cross‑subject accuracies, with the model outperforming others in accuracy and positive‑class F1. Additional experiments demonstrate its ability to distinguish healthy from depressed participants and reveal spatial‑spectral neural signatures across frontal, temporal, central, and parietal regions with an alpha‑centered frequency preference.

Scale-Aware Attention for Scarce Neural Data: An RG-Flow Transformer on Sleep-EDF EEG
arXiv:2607. 11950v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Brain field potentials are scale-free: their power spectra follow a $1/f^{\beta}$ law whose aperiodic exponent $\beta$ tracks cortical state, and sleep depth in particular is a shift in $\beta$.
