arXiv:2606.20673v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A central challenge in EEG authentication is that models are typically tied to the acquisition settings in which they are trained. In particular, variations in headset hardware, channel layout, and signal duration create heterogeneous recordings that existing models are not designed to handle, causing each new headset or dataset to be treated as a separate model-development problem. This fragmentation limits multi-dataset learning, hinders knowledge transfer, and reduces model reusability. To address this limitation, we present NeuroShield, a
The proliferation of various EEG acquisition devices and the increasing demand for robust biometric security mechanisms are driving the need for device-agnostic solutions.
A device-agnostic foundation model for EEG authentication removes a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of neurotechnology for identity verification, decentralizing access and accelerating research.
Previously fragmented EEG authentication models, tied to specific hardware, can now converge towards more universal and interoperable solutions, fostering cross-device compatibility and data integration.
