EESM19 (Ear-EEG Sleep Monitoring 2019, OpenNeuro ds005185) is a home sleep dataset from Aarhus University: 20 participants each slept four nights with dry-contact ear-EEG plus partial polysomnography, manually sleep-scored, and 10 of them added 12 ear-EEG-only nights. First published by Mikkelsen et al. in Scientific Reports (2019).

Every core window is shorter than EEGPT’s 4-second pretraining window: 1 or 2 seconds, and sleep as fifteen 2-second segments. The encoder computes each 0.25-second patch the same way at any length; a shorter window gives fewer patches to average.
The readout is the site’s fixed probe on the frozen summary tokens, as for the published LaBraM and CBraMod rows: ridge (alpha 100) on 2,048 pooled values, and on idle a per-person logistic head. It is not the authors’ downstream probe, a learnable spatial filter with a linear head, and the windows are fed without the average reference EEGPT was pretrained with.
EEGPT: the checkpoint’s licence is unresolved, and no original or converted weights are distributed; Apache-2.0 covers the repository’s code only. Its licence and terms →

Limits: The questions are label-backed classification targets from one dataset each, asked by identifier. They are not language prompts and say nothing about unseen questions (route 3). EESM19 full (S13) uses every stored epoch that passes the published core rules at its natural stage mix; it is a different protocol from the site's balanced sleep-scalp subset. SL-E and SL-F are largely predictable from the current stage; no stage-only read-out was computed on EESM19. A contrast shows a difference when its paired 95% interval excludes zero; it is equivalent when the whole interval lies within ±2 pp, the margin fixed before any result, and an arm is non-inferior when the interval rules out its being 2 pp or more behind. No multiplicity correction: across route 2’s 21 primary comparisons and its secondary ones, about one in 20 comparisons with no true difference may show one by chance. Every limitation of route 2 →
