arXiv:2607. 23554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we propose the MAEConformer, a novel self-supervised learning framework that combines the Conformer architecture with the Masked Autoencoder (MAE) paradigm for large-scale representation learning from unlabelled electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) signals.

The paper presents a data‑driven framework that selects optimal EEG‑EMG channel pairs for hybrid brain‑computer interfaces by formulating the problem as a constrained bi‑objective optimisation. It maximises both the spatial relevance of EEG channels to motor cortex areas and the corticomuscular coupling strength, solved with NSGA‑II. Applied to motor‑imagery data from eight stroke patients, the method achieved an average classification accuracy of 89.6%, indicating improved capture of physiologically meaningful interactions.

NeuroStrata is a deep learning framework that analyzes mental stress by modeling the temporal evolution of frequency‑specific directed connectivity in EEG signals using Time‑Varying Partial Directed Coherence (TV‑PDC). It transforms TV‑PDC connectivity maps into deep embeddings with pretrained CNNs and Vision Transformers, then classifies them with lightweight machine learning models. Experiments on the SAM 40 dataset show that beta‑band connectivity yields the highest accuracy (97.3 %) with a ViT backbone, while alpha‑band connectivity remains consistently stable, and that stress‑related connectivity signatures consolidate in mid‑to‑late temporal windows.
