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.

Test-Time Adaptation for EEG Foundation Models: A Systematic Study under Real-World Distribution Shifts

arXiv:2604. 16926v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models have shown strong potential for learning generalizable representations from large-scale neural data, yet their clinical deployment is hindered by distribution shifts across clinical settings, devices, and populations.

ProCA: Progressive Contrastive Alignment for Robust EEG Visual Decoding

ProCA: Progressive Contrastive Alignment for Robust EEG Visual Decoding introduces a model‑agnostic framework that adaptively aligns EEG signals with visual semantics. It replaces fixed visual or textual anchors with EEG‑aware class‑level contrastive supervision and employs structure‑consistent interpolation to preserve channel‑wise and temporal importance. Across multiple evaluation settings—including subject‑dependent, subject‑independent, strict cross‑subject transfer, and continual adaptation—ProCA delivers significant performance gains, achieving relative Top‑1 improvements ranging from 7.4% to 28.1%.

NeurDuo-EEG: A Long-Sequence EEG Foundation Model with Persistent State and Explicit Memory

NeurDuo-EEG is a causal EEG foundation model that introduces channel‑resolved persistent memory and multi‑timescale memory management, allowing it to model continuous EEG with a fixed‑size state. Trained on 3,955 hours of EEG from 17 public datasets, it outperforms baselines on most short‑window and long‑sequence tasks, notably improving seizure detection AUC‑PR from 0.285 to 0.471. The Small variant achieves these gains with only 4.7 M parameters and supports efficient streaming inference with constant per‑chunk latency even as history grows to one hour.

Toward Fast Human Reaction Modeling from High-Frequency Digital Interaction Data

The paper explores whether rapid, salience-driven behavior can be detected in high‑frequency Counter‑Strike 2 telemetry by reconstructing players’ perceptual states with a millisecond‑precision visibility engine. Using a 60–120 ms reaction window, the authors derive fight‑or‑flight labels and train two telemetry‑native models—EMBER (gradient boosting) and ORBIT (custom transformer)—which outperform a majority‑class baseline and a large language model while requiring far less inference time and cost. Adding a short post‑trigger window further improves accuracy to 85.15%, suggesting a potential probe of the shift from rapid to deliberative control, though the study remains hypothesis‑generating rather than mechanistic.
