The paper introduces Adaptive Anisotropic Attention (AAA), a method that splits self‑attention into temporal and spatial paths for axis‑structured signals like EEG. A learned gate combines the two paths for each token, and the resulting AXON model outperforms dense attention baselines on six EEG tasks and shows transfer to audio spectrograms. The study demonstrates that aligning attention with the natural axes of structured data provides a beneficial inductive bias.

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%.
