EEGDM: Learning EEG Representation with Latent Diffusion Model
Quick summary
arXiv:2508.20705v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in self-supervised learning for EEG representation have largely relied on masked reconstruction, where models are trained to recover randomly masked signal segments. While effective at modeling local dependencies, the training objective of masked reconstruction does not compel the model to capture global generative constraints essential for characterizing neural activity. To address this limitation, we propose EEGDM, a novel self-supervised framework that leverages latent diffusion models to generate EEG signals as an ob
