ZeroMAG: Zero-Shot Multimodal Adapter Generation for Plug-and-Play EEG Foundation Models

ZeroMAG is a zero‑shot multimodal adapter generation framework that extends frozen EEG foundation models to heterogeneous multimodal recordings using only unlabeled target data. It constructs a configuration‑invariant adapter and generates adapter weights in a latent space learned from source adapters, without target‑side optimization. Across six held‑out target datasets and three EFM backbones, ZeroMAG improves balanced accuracy by 7.22 percentage points over EEG‑only inference and 4.89 points over direct weight regression, approaching supervised multimodal adaptation.

Neural State Prediction: Obstructing Shortcut Learning in EEG Foundation Models

Neural State Prediction (NSP) is a latent‑predictive framework designed to curb shortcut learning in EEG foundation models. By using a target encoder updated with an exponential moving average, identity residualization, and topology‑separated context, NSP constrains both the prediction target and the available context. Trained on 2.2 million EEG segments, NSP outperforms baselines on 14 datasets in the EEG‑FM‑Bench, achieving 63.94 % macro balanced accuracy.

Adaptive Cortically Constrained EEG-Vision Alignment for Zero-Shot Brain-to-Image Retrieval

The paper introduces an adaptive cortically constrained method for aligning EEG signals with visual representations in zero‑shot brain‑to‑image retrieval. It reconstructs EEG into ROI‑level source patterns, encodes them with a Neuro‑ROI Attention Encoder, and applies evidence‑based adaptive visual supervision to account for response‑wise variability. On the THINGS‑EEG dataset, the approach achieves strong 200‑way retrieval performance and offers ROI‑level attribution for interpretability.

Modeling Shared and Individual Structure for Cross-Subject Continuous Affect Regression from EEG-fNIRS

The paper presents a method for zero‑shot cross‑subject continuous affect regression using synchronized EEG‑fNIRS data. It decomposes affect trajectories into a shared component across subjects and an individual component derived from a label‑free alpha‑band cross‑channel synchrony marker, which rescales the shared trajectory for each test subject. Extensive validation—including leave‑one‑subject‑out correlation, functional‑form comparison, component ablation, and ceiling analysis—shows the approach achieves lower mean absolute errors than EEGNet and ASAC‑Net baselines on unseen subjects.

SCORE: Subject Coordinate Recovery for Label-Free Cross-Subject EEG-to-Image Retrieval

SCORE: Subject Coordinate Recovery for Label-Free Cross-Subject EEG-to-Image Retrieval proposes a new framework that aligns EEG signals from different subjects into a common image space without requiring labeled calibration data. By training on source subjects and estimating an orthogonal transformation at deployment, SCORE recovers target EEG coordinates and selects reliable EEG-image landmarks through hubness-corrected matching. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art Top‑1/Top‑5 accuracy on two public benchmarks, outperforming existing baselines by significant margins.
