MANAS-2: Constrained Reconstruction Approach for EEG Foundation Models
A new arXiv paper introduces MANAS-2, an EEG foundation model that reframes masked reconstruction as a constrained problem. The authors argue that optimizing reconstruction on low-SNR brain waveforms does not reliably yield the most useful latent representations. The model is presented as a step toward EEG pretraining objectives that better match downstream usefulness.
