KnowEEG: Explainable Knowledge Driven EEG Classification

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.

LEAD: An EEG Foundation Model for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

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.

NeuroAtlas: Benchmarking Foundation Models for Clinical EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces

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.

Deep Learning-Based Classification of Cognitive and Resting States Using Electroencephalography Signals

The paper introduces a deep learning framework that uses a CNN‑GRU architecture to classify EEG recordings into resting or cognitive states. Time‑frequency analysis extracts salient signal features, which are then evaluated with both deep learning and traditional machine learning classifiers. The proposed method achieves accuracies of 83.177% for resting vs. mathematical tasks, 76.107% for resting vs. memory tasks, and 83.432% for resting vs. music tasks, outperforming comparative approaches.

Deep Learning-Based Classification of Cognitive and Resting States Using Electroencephalography Signals

The paper introduces a deep learning framework that uses a CNN‑GRU architecture to classify EEG recordings into resting and various cognitive states. Time‑frequency analysis is applied to extract salient signal features, which are then evaluated with both deep learning and traditional machine learning classifiers, including a proposed 2D‑Net. The method achieves accuracies of 83.177% for resting vs. mathematical tasks, 76.107% for resting vs. memory tasks, and 83.432% for resting vs. music tasks, outperforming comparative approaches.

EEG-SpikeAgent: Agentic Closed-Loop Program Synthesis for Automated EEG Spike Detection

Automated detection of interictal epileptiform discharges in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) is clinically important, but recent high-performing deep-learning models often trade interpretability for accuracy. We introduce EEG-SpikeAgent, a closed-loop program-synthesis framework that uses a large language model (LLM) agentic system to generate signal-processing features for spike detection in scalp EEG.

EEG-to-Report: An Annotation and Feature-Text Framework for Training Language Models on Clinical EEG

EEG-to-Report is a browser-based annotation and feature‑text framework that links routine EEG review with the creation of AI‑ready datasets. It ingests multi‑format EEG data, standardizes channels, and provides an interactive viewer with a multimodal annotation layer that combines typed text and transcribed voice notes. For each annotated segment, a feature extraction engine computes standardized spectral, temporal, entropy, Hjorth, connectivity, and spike‑related descriptors, stored alongside clinical descriptions in a portable JSON schema, producing aligned feature‑text pairs for training multimodal EEG‑language models. The framework also includes an auto‑report module that uses an ensemble of convolutional networks and a large language model to draft clinical narratives for neurologist review, thereby streamlining annotation workflows and enabling editable draft reports.
