arXiv:2605. 14941v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are highly susceptible to artifacts, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio, which makes extraction of meaningful neural information challenging.

BRIDGE-EEG is an efficient multi‑task EEG classification pipeline that leverages self‑supervised pretraining while dramatically reducing model size. It maps heterogeneous EEG recordings to a unified 62‑channel time‑frequency representation, pretrains an SE‑ResNet18 teacher with SimCLR, and distills it into smaller SE‑ResNet8 and SE‑ResNet4 students. The compact models achieve accuracy comparable to or better than larger foundation models on abnormality detection and emotion recognition, and they consume up to three times less energy on edge devices, enabling deployment on wearable hardware.

The study investigates whether Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) can adapt three pretrained EEG foundation models—LaBraM‑base, REVE‑base, and REVE‑large—for binary left‑ vs. right‑hand motor imagery decoding in stroke patients. Using subject‑wise five‑fold cross‑validation on the PhysioNet EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset and a binary subset of the UET175 stroke dataset, LoRA significantly improved accuracy for LaBraM‑base (0.822) and REVE‑base (0.957) on the healthy cohort, but only REVE‑base LoRA achieved high performance (0.847±0.194) on stroke data, with a best mean accuracy of 0.952 in leave‑one‑subject‑out evaluation. The results demonstrate that healthy‑benchmark performance does not guarantee transfer to stroke EEG, highlighting the need for target‑domain adaptation and subject‑level assessment in rehabilitation BCIs.

arXiv:2607. 11530v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decoding continuous three-dimensional (3D) motor imagery (MI) using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) remains challenging due to signal variability and residual decoding errors.

NeuroAtlas is the largest EEG benchmark to date, comprising 42 datasets and 260,000 hours of clinical EEG data across epilepsy, sleep medicine, brain age estimation, and brain‑computer interfaces. The study evaluates foundation models (FMs) for EEG against supervised baselines and generic time‑series FMs, finding that EEG‑specific FMs do not consistently outperform generic ones. It also demonstrates that standard machine‑learning metrics are inadequate for clinical relevance, advocating for task‑specific measures such as event‑level decision quality, hypnogram features, and brain‑age gap.
