Neural State Prediction: Obstructing Shortcut Learning in EEG Foundation Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.31167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: EEG foundation models increasingly use masked prediction to learn from unlabeled recordings, but optimizing this objective does not ensure transferable neural representations. A central challenge is that stable positional cues and local correlations can make masked regions predictable without integrating distributed neural context. To reduce this reliance on low-information prediction paths, we introduce Neural State Prediction (NSP), a latent-predictive framework that constrains both the prediction target and the available context. NSP uses a Ta
