MSCGC-KAN: Multi-scale Causal Graph Convolution and KAN-inspired Analytic-basis Mapping for EEG Emotion Recognition

The paper introduces MSCGC-KAN, a new EEG emotion recognition approach that builds on a pre‑trained CBraMod backbone. It incorporates a structured task head featuring multi‑scale causal graph convolution and Kolmogorov–Arnold feature mapping to better capture multi‑scale emotional dynamics, inter‑channel connectivity, and nonlinear discriminative patterns. Experiments on FACED and SEED‑VII show significant performance gains over a linear baseline, achieving balanced accuracies of 60.66% and 33.27% respectively.

One Model for All: Universal Pre-training for EEG based Emotion Recognition across Heterogeneous Datasets and Paradigms

The paper introduces ‘One Model for All’, a universal pre‑training framework that tackles EEG‑based emotion recognition across diverse datasets and paradigms. It decouples learning into a univariate self‑supervised contrastive pre‑training stage using a Unified Channel Schema, followed by a multivariate fine‑tuning stage that employs an Adaptive Resampling Transformer and a Graph Attention Network to model spatio‑temporal dependencies. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on within‑subject benchmarks (SEED 99.27%, DEAP 93.69%, DREAMER 93.93%) and superior cross‑dataset transfer, with ablation studies highlighting the critical role of the GAT module.

Graph Learning for Cross-Subject, Cross-Population EEG Emotion Decoding and Model-Derived Spatial-Spectral Neural Signatures

The paper introduces EmoDiPyraTrans, a development-regularized differential graph Transformer designed to decode emotions from EEG signals across unseen individuals and populations while maintaining neural interpretability. Evaluations on five datasets (SEED, FACED, MAHNOB-HCI, DEAP, DREAMER) show high cross‑subject accuracies, with the model outperforming others in accuracy and positive‑class F1. Additional experiments demonstrate its ability to distinguish healthy from depressed participants and reveal spatial‑spectral neural signatures across frontal, temporal, central, and parietal regions with an alpha‑centered frequency preference.

Brain4FMs: A Benchmark of Foundation Models for Electrical Brain Signal

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.
