MANAS-2: Constrained Reconstruction for EEG Foundation Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

MANAS-2 is a new EEG foundation model that integrates a Raw‑Band Hybrid masked autoencoder with a physics‑motivated Constrained Reconstruction (ConRec) regularizer. ConRec penalizes RMS energy differences in short temporal windows, guiding the encoder toward oscillatory‑envelope organization. Across seven held‑out EEG datasets, adding ConRec improves spectral‑power recovery (R² from 0.860 to 0.906) and band‑energy dynamics (R² from 0.283 to 0.354), while maintaining strong temporal waveform recoverability and outperforming leading EEG models on downstream tasks.

Robust Frequency-Calibrated Virtual EEG Channel Generation from Four Frontal Electrodes for Wearable EEG Augmentation

arXiv:2605. 29263v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Low-channel wearable electroencephalography (EEG) is attractive for long-term monitoring, but four frontal electrodes provide only a sparse and spatially biased view of distributed scalp activity.

EEGDM: Learning EEG Representation with Latent Diffusion Model

EEGDM introduces a self‑supervised framework that uses latent diffusion models to generate EEG signals, moving beyond traditional masked reconstruction. The method employs an EEG encoder to produce a compact representation that conditions the diffusion denoising process, allowing joint optimization of encoder and generator. Experiments demonstrate that EEGDM can reconstruct high‑quality EEG, learn robust representations, and perform competitively on various downstream tasks.
