  "summary": "Neural decoding benchmarks commonly evaluate generalization across participants while reusing the same experimental stimuli in training and test sets. This design cannot distinguish transfer to new stimuli from recognition of familiar material, a distinction that is increasingly important for electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models, pretrained models designed to learn reusable neural…",
