构建可跨设备通用的脑电身份认证基础模型,解决硬件差异导致的模型失效问题。
NeuroShield: A Device-Agnostic Foundation Model for EEG Authentication

- 采用双阶段Transformer架构,从变通道、变长度脑电信号中学习身份特征
- 在15,762人28,116次会话数据上预训练,下游任务误差率降低0.44至8.06个百分点
- 支持长段信号与未见电极布局,适合跨设备、多场景脑电认证应用
脑电身份认证的核心挑战在于模型通常与训练时的采集设置绑定。由于头戴设备、电极布局和信号时长的差异,现有模型难以应对异构记录,导致每次新设备或数据集都需独立建模,造成知识无法迁移、模型复用性差。为此,我们提出NeuroShield——一种可复用的脑电身份认证基础模型。该模型通过双阶段Transformer架构,从变通道、变长度的脑电信号中学习身份区分性嵌入。我们在包含15,762名受试者、28,116次会话的三个公开脑电数据集上预训练NeuroShield,评估其在两个未见过的下游数据集上的迁移能力。结果表明,经微调后,NeuroShield相较当前最优方法将等错误率降低了0.44至8.06个百分点。模型还能泛化至训练中未见的更长信号段,并在预训练未覆盖的电极布局上正常运行。这些结果验证了NeuroShield作为跨异构采集环境可复用、可适应的脑电身份编码器的潜力。我们已开源NeuroShield以支持可复现性和社区应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
A central challenge in EEG authentication is that models are typically tied to the acquisition settings in which they are trained. In particular, variations in headset hardware, channel layout, and signal duration create heterogeneous recordings that existing models are not designed to handle, causing each new headset or dataset to be treated as a separate model-development problem. This fragmentation limits multi-dataset learning, hinders knowledge transfer, and reduces model reusability. To address this limitation, we present NeuroShield, a reusable foundation model for EEG authentication that learns identity-discriminative embeddings from variable-channel and variable-length EEG recordings through a dual-stage transformer architecture. We pretrain NeuroShield on three public EEG datasets comprising 15{,}762 subjects and 28{,}116 sessions, and evaluate transfer on two unseen downstream datasets. Our evaluations show that, after fine-tuning, NeuroShield reduces equal error rate by 0.44--8.06 percentage points relative to the state of the art. NeuroShield further generalizes to segments longer than those seen during training and operates across channel layouts not encountered during pretraining. These results establish NeuroShield as a reusable and adaptable EEG identity encoder across heterogeneous recording settings. We release NeuroShield as open source to support reproducibility and community adoption.
