The paper introduces BraVista, a visual-language framework that transforms multichannel EEG signals into structured images and uses instruction‑conditioned vision‑language models for unified multi‑task EEG decoding. By continuing post‑training of a general‑domain VLM, BraVista adapts to neural signals without large‑scale EEG‑specific pretraining, achieving strong performance across sleep staging, emotion recognition, cognitive workload classification, and abnormal EEG detection. Analyses show that the EEG‑to‑image representation is crucial and that the model’s performance degrades gradually with added noise, indicating reliance on genuine EEG information.

EEG-HealthLLM introduces a hierarchical adaptation framework that unifies heterogeneous EEG health assessments using large language models. Task‑specific EEG adapters preserve unique spatio‑temporal dynamics, while a shared LoRA module in the LLM backbone captures common high‑level assessment semantics. The new EEG‑HealthBench benchmark reorganizes five EEG datasets into five health‑assessment tasks, and experiments show EEG‑HealthLLM achieves the highest average balanced accuracy and macro‑F1, improving performance while reducing adapter size by 80%.
