A Roadmap for MEG Foundation Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The article outlines the emerging field of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) foundation models, explaining how these reusable, pretrained models can surpass traditional task‑specific decoding pipelines. It reviews current design choices—such as tokenization, sensor versus source representations, and self‑supervised objectives—and notes the limited number of existing MEG‑specific models and datasets. The authors propose a roadmap that includes native MEG pretraining, adaptation of EEG models, transfer from generic time‑series models, and multimodal integration with other neuroimaging and behavioral data, while emphasizing the need for coordinated infrastructure, rigorous evaluation, and responsible data‑sharing practices.

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.

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.
