Researchers have developed a method to quantify the hierarchy of trait and state information within electroencephalography (EEG) embeddings. Their findings indicate that EEG features primarily form a macro-trait hierarchy, which can hinder the performance of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) foundation models by reducing state distinguishability. To address this, they explored normalization techniques to reduce trait-specific information, leading to a notable improvement in state classification accuracy. Furthermore, fine-tuning models for downstream state decoding was shown to transform embedding spaces into macro-state hierarchies, enhancing state decoding capabilities. AI
