Cross-Subject Generalization in Decoding Perceived Speech from Non-Invasive Brain Recordings

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a Cross-Subject Perceived Speech Decoding (CPSD) framework that tackles the challenge of decoding perceived speech from non‑invasive brain recordings across different subjects. CPSD uses a two‑stage training process: first, contrastive learning pre‑trains a source model on multiple subjects to capture shared representations; second, personal specialization fine‑tunes the model for a target subject by extracting consistent components and further training on that subject’s data. A Positional Encoding‑based Spatial Attention (PESA) module is added to remap MEG/EEG data into a standardized reference space, improving cross‑subject consistency. Evaluations on three datasets (Armeni 2022, PKUEEG 2025, Broderick 2018) show that CPSD outperforms baseline methods by more than 6.8%, 15.4%, and 15.8% in Top‑10 accuracy, demonstrating its effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness.

EEG-FM-Compass: Progress, Benchmarking, and Future Directions for EEG Foundation Models

arXiv:2601. 17883v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models (FMs) have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for brain-computer interfaces, aiming to learn transferable neural representations from large-scale heterogeneous recordings.

LibriBrain100: One Hundred Hours of Broad and Deep MEG Data for Neural Speech Decoding at Scale

LibriBrain100 is a new large‑scale MEG dataset for speech decoding that contains over 100 hours of high‑quality recordings while subjects listened to naturalistic continuous speech. The dataset more than doubles the size of the original LibriBrain release, with a record 80 hours from a single subject and additional 40‑minute recordings from 32 subjects. The authors demonstrate the value of deep within‑subject data and broad multi‑subject data by achieving state‑of‑the‑art word‑classification performance and showing that supervised fine‑tuning can compensate for limited per‑subject data, all supported by open‑source tools and a public competition leaderboard.
