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-Xplain introduces a unified attribution framework to interpret EEG foundation models such as BIOT, LaBraM, and EEGMamba. The framework combines gradient, perturbation, and activation-based methods to analyze model behavior across spatial, temporal, and frequency dimensions, identifying critical channels, decision-relevant signal segments, and contributions of canonical EEG rhythms. It evaluates explanation reliability with population-level metrics and uses large language models to convert structured attributions into natural-language reports, demonstrating consistency with known neurophysiological markers on benchmark datasets.

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.

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.

arXiv:2607. 06629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain age -- the age inferred from a physiological recording -- is an emerging biomarker whose deviation from chronological age tracks neurological and psychiatric burden, and EEG is an attractive substrate for it because it is cheap, portable, and temporally rich.
