SHINE: Sequential Hierarchical Integration Network for EEG and MEG

Read the original on arXiv AI →

SHINE is a Sequential Hierarchical Integration Network designed to reconstruct speech envelope and Mel spectrogram from EEG and MEG recordings. It uses a residual sensor adapter, dilated-block states for temporal depth, and a target- and time-dependent gate to fuse hierarchical and attention-enhanced context predictions. Across two EEG and two MEG datasets, SHINE achieved the highest mean envelope and mean-Mel Pearson correlations among nine baseline methods and ranked second in the NeurIPS 2025 PNPL Competition’s speech-detection Extended Track.

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

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.

Subject-Invariant Cross-Modal Decoding of Perceived Speech from Brain Recordings

The paper introduces the Subject-Invariant Cross-Modal Perceived Speech Decoding (SICMD) method, which fuses fMRI and MEG data to decode perceived speech from non‑invasive brain signals. Comprehensive experiments show that SICMD improves Top‑1, Top‑10, and Rankacc scores by over 10%, 10%, and 1.7% respectively, while cutting training costs by 88.8% and 60.5% compared to existing multi‑subject and intra‑subject approaches. Visualizations further confirm the method’s effectiveness.
