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.
The paper presents a diagnostic framework for Alzheimer’s disease that uses the Large Brain Model (LaBraM), a foundation model pretrained on over 2,500 hours of EEG data, to generate high‑dimensional latent embeddings. These embeddings are fed into a non‑linear Random Forest classifier, achieving an ROC‑AUC of 89.36% ± 3.49%, PR AUC of 81.45% ± 4.43%, and Balanced Accuracy of 82.44% ± 4.34% in a subject‑independent 5‑fold cross‑validation setting, using only 8‑second EEG segments. Post‑hoc occlusion and neurophysiological alignment analyses confirm that the model captures clinically validated biomarkers such as occipital‑frontal Alpha and Theta rhythm degradation and correlates with cognitive performance and clinical severity.

KnowEEG is a feature‑based EEG classification pipeline that extracts 783 per‑electrode statistical features and cross‑brain connectivity metrics, using a balanced sampling strategy to integrate high‑dimensional per‑electrode data with connectivity information. It achieves performance that matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models on five diverse tasks—including emotion detection, mental workload, eyes open/closed, abnormal EEG, and event detection—without requiring GPU resources. The approach also offers inherent explainability via feature importance rankings, identifying occipital biomarkers in the eyes open/closed task that align with established neuroscience literature.

arXiv:2607. 24519v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained EEG foundation models are increasingly proposed for clinical decoding, but their transfer across populations and robustness to negative controls remain unclear.
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.
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.

The paper presents a transformer-based framework for detecting schizophrenia from EEG signals. It converts preprocessed EEG recordings into spectrograms via Short-Time Fourier Transform and classifies them using both traditional machine learning algorithms and deep learning models, including CNN-Transformer hybrids. Subject-level data partitioning ensures reliable evaluation, yielding an AUC-ROC of 88.41% for the CNN-Transformer model and 92.88% for the CNN + Squeeze and Excitation + Transformer model on an independent test set.
