重建式脑电基础模型偏向捕捉低频非周期信号，忽略高频振荡成分。

EEG foundation models, pre-trained on large-scale unlabelled EEG data, have emerged as a promising direction towards learning generalizable EEG representations. Despite showing positive results in data-rich regimes, they often fail to outperform significantly smaller supervised models in low-resource settings compared to fully supervised models. We provide a mechanistic account of this shortcoming, attributing it to a fundamental mismatch between reconstruction-based pretext tasks and the idiosyncratic spectral structure of EEG signals, which decompose into distinct high-power aperiodic and low-power oscillatory components. Using controlled, synthetically-generated EEG inputs, we demonstrate that EEG foundation model embeddings are biased to capture the aperiodic components of the EEG signal while under-representing oscillatory components, particularly at higher frequencies. Additionally, linear probe evaluations on real-world BCI datasets further reveal that embeddings encode subject identity more strongly than task-relevant information, thereby reinforcing the low-frequency and aperiodic component bias in foundation model embeddings trained primarily on reconstruction based objectives. Together, these findings elucidate a failure mode in reconstruction based EEG foundation models and motivate future work to incorporate auxiliary losses explicitly targeting high-frequency oscillatory structure as a path toward more capable and generalizable EEG representations.
