New benchmark evaluates foundation models for brain signal analysis

Researchers have introduced Brain4FMs, a novel benchmark designed to evaluate foundation models for electrical brain signals. This benchmark is the first to integrate both electroencephalography (EEG) and intracranial EEG (iEEG) data, encompassing 17 distinct models and 21 datasets. Brain4FMs aims to standardize the evaluation of these models across various tasks such as clinical diagnosis, sleep staging, communication, and affective computing, while also facilitating exploratory analyses into model-specific properties.
