# CBraMod: results on public EEG datasets

Foundation model

CBraMod is an EEG foundation model from Wang et al. (Zhejiang University; ICLR 2025). Its criss-cross Transformer models spatial and temporal dependencies between EEG patches with two parallel attention branches, uses an asymmetric conditional positional encoding, and is pretrained by masked patch reconstruction on the TUEG clinical corpus (over 9,000 hours retained after preprocessing).
