The paper introduces Progressive Experience Fusion (PEF) for training a multi-task TD-MPC2 controller to navigate endovascular paths across diverse vascular anatomies. PEF outperforms Soft Actor-Critic and base TD-MPC2, achieving 74% success on training anatomies and 90% on held‑out vasculatures. The controller also transfers to an unseen in‑vitro stroke patient, improving path ratio from 63% to 80% after fine‑tuning.

arXiv:2510. 09497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In endovascular surgery, endovascular interventionists push a thin tube called a catheter, guided by a thin wire to a treatment site inside the patient's blood vessels to treat various conditions such as blood clots, aneurysms, and malformations.

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.

Decoding continuous three-dimensional (3D) motor imagery (MI) using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) remains challenging due to signal variability and residual decoding errors. Deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural network--long short-term memory (CNN--LSTM) models can capture spatial and temporal dynamics for continuous kinematic decoding; however, systematic residual errors persist in predicted trajectories.
The study presents a hybrid brain‑computer interface that combines eye‑tracking and motor‑imagery (MI) to improve decision communication. By using visual fixation to stabilize neural responses, the authors developed an asynchronous paradigm that first selects a command via eye‑tracking and then confirms it with MI, reducing the number of operational steps. Experiments with 15 participants showed that this hybrid approach achieves up to 100% accuracy and outperforms conventional MI, even with limited EEG channels.
