DEFT: Disentanglement-Enhanced Fine-Tuning for EEG Foundation Models

EEG foundation models (EFMs) have improved EEG representation learning by transferring knowledge from large-scale multi-subject pretraining to downstream tasks.

Key points

  • To address this issue, we propose Disentangled EFM Fine-Tuning (DEFT), a plug-and-play adapter for EFM fine-tuning.
  • DEFT encourages branch disentanglement of pretrained tokens into task-oriented content and subject-consistent style, then performs downstream prediction from the content branch.
  • It instantiates this factorize-before-classify design with recursive Gaussian refinement, temporal-variance regularization, subject-aware contrastive learning, and reconstruction.
  • Experiments across multiple EEG datasets and four EFM backbones show that DEFT improves matched fine-tuning baselines.
