A Roadmap for MEG Foundation Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.04461v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are beginning to reshape brain-signal analysis by moving the field beyond task-specific decoding pipelines toward reusable models pretrained on broad neural datasets. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a compelling but still underdeveloped target for this shift: it captures human cortical dynamics at millisecond resolution while offering stronger spatial interpretability than EEG, making it especially valuable for source-resolved studies of perception, language, cognition, and clinical brain function. Yet MEG foundation models re
