Semantic Alignment of EEG and Text: A Contrastive Learning Framework for Decoding Imagined Speech

The paper introduces a multimodal contrastive learning framework that aligns EEG recordings of imagined speech with language representations from a frozen text encoder. By training an EEG encoder with a composite objective that balances semantic reweighting and class discrimination, the method preserves separability among 39 intent categories while embedding EEG signals into a language embedding space. Experiments on the Chisco dataset show comparable decoding performance to a task‑optimized classifier, and additional metrics such as MaxCosine and semantic axes demonstrate intrinsic reliability and broader semantic structure beyond fixed categories.
