EEG-FM-Audit: A Systematic Evaluation and Analysis Pipeline for EEG Foundation Models

arXiv:2605.26910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large EEG Foundation Models (FMs) have shown great potential for decoding EEG signals across diverse cognitive tasks. However, existing EEG-FM studies exhibit three critical limitations: opaque supervised baseline tuning, unverified contributions of complex learning paradigms, and a lack of transparency in model decision-making. To address these, we propose EEG-FM-Audit, a comprehensive evaluation and analysis pipeline designed to systematize the assessment of EEG-FMs. EEG-FM-Audit consists of three primary components: (1) an ASHA-driven benchmar

Why this matters
