Brain4FMs is a unified benchmark for evaluating brain foundation models (BFMs) on both scalp EEG and intracranial EEG (iEEG). It incorporates 17 representative models and 21 public datasets spanning clinical diagnosis, sleep staging, communication, and affective computing, and offers dataset-aware preprocessing, cross‑subject evaluation, and standardized downstream workflows. The benchmark highlights that no single BFM consistently outperforms others across all tasks, modalities, and adaptation protocols, prompting further exploratory analyses of model‑specific spatial, spectral, and discrete representations.

LEAD is a gated temporal‑spatial Transformer foundation model designed for EEG‑based Alzheimer's disease detection. It was trained on the world’s largest EEG‑AD corpus of 2,238 subjects and uses a subject‑regularized strategy and medical contrastive learning across 13 datasets. LEAD outperforms existing methods on five downstream AD datasets, achieving the best average ranking across 20 evaluations.
arXiv:2507. 12645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing need for accurate and unified analysis of diverse biological signals, such as ECG and EEG, is paramount for comprehensive patient assessment, especially in synchronous monitoring.
arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.
iMINDBench is a new benchmark for intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) neural decoding that evaluates models on fifteen tasks across three naturalistic movie‑watching datasets from multiple institutions. It standardizes preprocessing tracks and evaluation splits to enable consistent comparisons. The study shows that pretrained systems outperform baselines within their tracks, but strong spectral baselines remain competitive, and scaling up supervised data yields only modest or task‑dependent gains.
The paper introduces ‘One Model for All’, a universal pre‑training framework that tackles EEG‑based emotion recognition across diverse datasets and paradigms. It decouples learning into a univariate self‑supervised contrastive pre‑training stage using a Unified Channel Schema, followed by a multivariate fine‑tuning stage that employs an Adaptive Resampling Transformer and a Graph Attention Network to model spatio‑temporal dependencies. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on within‑subject benchmarks (SEED 99.27%, DEAP 93.69%, DREAMER 93.93%) and superior cross‑dataset transfer, with ablation studies highlighting the critical role of the GAT module.
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.
arXiv:2604. 16926v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models have shown strong potential for learning generalizable representations from large-scale neural data, yet their clinical deployment is hindered by distribution shifts across clinical settings, devices, and populations.
