EEG Benchmarking Needs a Task Specification Layer: NeuroDoc for Rulebook-Guided, Executable Benchmark Construction

Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models increasingly rely on multi-dataset training and evaluation, yet public EEG datasets still lack a shared task specification layer that can turn heterogeneous recordings into reusable benchmark units. Existing standards organize files, metadata, and provenance, but they do not specify EEG tasks under a common language and rulebook, leaving critical task semantics scattered across papers, code, and manual interpretation. We investigate whether heterogeneous public EEG datasets can be standardized through a structured task specification language paired with a shared rulebook. Our methodology represents each benchmark entry as a task document synchronized with an executable task kernel, with the rulebook defining task fields, evidence requirements, document-kernel alignment, review states, and machine-checkable constraints. Using this methodology, we release a community-reviewed EEG benchmark corpus centered on 53 completed and reviewed entries with 245 task definitions spanning diverse paradigms, and we introduce NeuroDoc and NeuroAudit as the operational support layer for rulebook-guided drafting, upgrading, review, amendment, and release management. We further examine whether the resulting benchmark units can be instantiated in a shared downstream setting across four EEG foundation model backbones, providing execution-based evidence for reusable, auditable, and executable EEG benchmarking infrastructure.

GRC-Net: Gram Residual Co-attention Net for epilepsy prediction

Prediction of epilepsy based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a rapidly evolving field. Previous studies have traditionally applied 1D processing to the entire EEG signal. However, we have adopted the Gram Matrix method to transform the signals into a 3D representation, enabling modeling of signal relationships across dimensions while preserving the temporal dependencies of the one-dimensional signals. Additionally, we observed an imbalance between local and global signals within the EEG data. Therefore, we introduced multi-level feature extraction, utilizing coattention for capturing global signal characteristics and an inception structure for processing local signals, achieving multi-granular feature extraction. Our experiments on the BONN dataset demonstrate that for the most challenging five-class classification task, GRC-Net achieved an accuracy of 93.66%, outperforming existing methods.
