A new research paper evaluates the robustness and transferability of six EEG foundation models across various clinical decoding tasks and datasets. The study found that the performance of these models is highly sensitive to the evaluation unit, dataset shifts, and the strength of the comparator models used. In several instances, randomly initialized encoders outperformed the pretrained foundation models, particularly in tasks related to dementia and Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. The research highlights the critical need for rigorous stress-testing and targeted negative controls when assessing the clinical utility of EEG foundation models. AI
