The field of EEG classification and analysis is moving towards more effective and efficient methods for automating tasks such as sleep stage annotation and seizure detection. Recent developments have focused on addressing the challenges of limited labeled data, inter-individual variability, and complex spatial-temporal dependencies in EEG signals. Innovative approaches include the use of meta-learning, multiresolutional models, and large EEG models fine-tuned on real-world data. These advancements have shown promising results in improving classification accuracy and robustness, and have the potential to revolutionize brain-computer interface applications. Noteworthy papers include:

• MetaSTH-Sleep, which proposes a few-shot sleep stage classification framework based on spatial-temporal hypergraph enhanced meta-learning, achieving substantial performance improvements across diverse subjects.
• MR-EEGWaveNet, which introduces a novel end-to-end model for seizure detection that efficiently distinguishes seizure events from background EEG and artifacts/noise, significantly outperforming conventional non-multiresolution approaches.
• From Theory to Application, which evaluates the efficacy of Large EEG Models by fine-tuning a state-of-the-art foundation EEG model on a real-world stress classification dataset, achieving a balanced accuracy of 90.47%.
• EAD, which proposes a flexible framework for learning EEG embeddings compatible with any signal acquisition device, achieving state-of-the-art accuracies on publicly available datasets.
