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.

Neural State Prediction (NSP) is a latent‑predictive framework designed to curb shortcut learning in EEG foundation models. By using a target encoder updated with an exponential moving average, identity residualization, and topology‑separated context, NSP constrains both the prediction target and the available context. Trained on 2.2 million EEG segments, NSP outperforms baselines on 14 datasets in the EEG‑FM‑Bench, achieving 63.94 % macro balanced accuracy.

arXiv:2607. 23554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we propose the MAEConformer, a novel self-supervised learning framework that combines the Conformer architecture with the Masked Autoencoder (MAE) paradigm for large-scale representation learning from unlabelled electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) signals.
