LuMamba: How the Pre-training Objective Shapes an EEG Foundation Model
We bring LeJEPA to biosignals for the first time and show that the choice of self-supervised objective (masked reconstruction, LeJEPA, or a mix) trades latent-space structure for cross-montage generalisation, all on a 4.6M-parameter bi-Mamba model that is 377× cheaper than LaBraM.

LUNA: An EEG Foundation Model That Doesn't Care How Many Electrodes You Have
How learned queries and cross-attention let LUNA decouple compute from electrode count, cutting FLOPs by 300× and GPU memory by 10× while still hitting state-of-the-art on TUAR.
