LuMamba: Latent Unified Mamba for Electrode Topology-Invariant and Efficient EEG Modeling

arXiv:2603.19100v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) enables non-invasive monitoring of brain activity across clinical and neurotechnology applications, yet building foundation models for EEG remains challenging due to differing electrode topologies and computational scalability, as Transformer architectures incur quadratic sequence complexity. As a joint solution, we propose LuMamba (Latent Unified Mamba), a self-supervised framework combining topology-invariant encodings with linear-complexity state-space modeling, using LUNA's learned-query cross-attention mechan

Why this matters
