arXiv:2605.28792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a critical, non-invasive method to monitor electrical brain activity. EEGs can span anywhere from a couple seconds to multiple hours, posing a major hurdle for existing deep learning methods due to two major factors: (1) existing EEG models are predominantly built upon the attention mechanism, incurring quadratic scaling as the sequence length increases, and (2) raw EEG signals must be processed in a sliding-window fashion due to fixed-length input requirements, preventing global understanding of the entire signa
The continuous drive for real-time, non-invasive brain activity monitoring is pushing advancements in efficient deep learning models for high-volume biomedical data.
This development could significantly enhance the utility of EEG in medical diagnostics, neurological research, and potentially brain-computer interfaces by overcoming previous scaling limitations.
Existing deep learning methods for EEG, constrained by quadratic scaling and fixed input lengths, are now being challenged by more efficient causal state space models, enabling continuous, real-time inference.
