The study identifies specific EEG spatio‑temporal features that reliably indicate cybersickness discomfort. Using deep learning interpretability maps on two auditory ERP datasets, the authors found consistent importance of left frontal, midline central, and right parietal scalp locations, particularly between 80–260 ms after stimulus. These findings suggest that such EEG markers can be used for future discomfort classification in VR settings.

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.
EEG-HealthLLM introduces a hierarchical adaptation framework that unifies heterogeneous EEG health assessments using large language models. Task‑specific EEG adapters preserve unique spatio‑temporal dynamics, while a shared LoRA module in the LLM backbone captures common high‑level assessment semantics. The new EEG‑HealthBench benchmark reorganizes five EEG datasets into five health‑assessment tasks, and experiments show EEG‑HealthLLM achieves the highest average balanced accuracy and macro‑F1, improving performance while reducing adapter size by 80%.

BrainPro is a process‑conditioned self‑supervised pretraining framework for large EEG models that addresses two underexplored challenges: the underuse of mental‑process cues in masked pretraining and the variability of electrode montages across datasets. It maps dataset‑specific montages to a universal channel‑region template, retrieves spatial filters to create a topographically aligned basis, and learns a shared encoder along with process‑specific branches conditioned on protocol cues. Experiments on nine public BCI benchmarks show that BrainPro outperforms baselines, with ablations indicating that topographic retrieval and process‑conditioned representation learning jointly enhance EEG decoding.
The paper introduces TriDim, a reusable block that preserves the three EEG axes—channel, short‑term temporal, and long‑term temporal—by applying feed‑forward transformations and cross‑axis attention. Stacking these blocks yields TriDimEEG, a standalone EEG decoder that outperforms fifteen other models on eight datasets, achieving a 4.3% relative accuracy gain. Replacing Transformer blocks in existing EEG foundation models with TriDim blocks improves downstream accuracy by 7.4% on average while reducing parameters by 17.0% to 47.3%.

The paper investigates how EEG embeddings from signal processing and foundation models encode trait and state information. Using a hierarchy metric and kNN purity on a BCI dataset, it finds that most embeddings form a macro‑trait hierarchy with micro‑states inside, which hampers state discrimination. Normalizing embeddings reduces trait leakage and improves state classification accuracy by about 10%, and fine‑tuning shifts the hierarchy toward macro‑state organization, enhancing decoding performance.
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.
