Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique for measuring neural activity and has been widely used in neuroscience applications. Recent advances in EEG foundation models have enabled strong performance across diverse neural decoding tasks. However, no single foundation model consistently performs best across datasets or individual EEG instances, while instance-level model selection remains largely unexplored. To address this limitation, we formulate EEG foundation model selection as an instance-level Algorithm Selection (AS) problem. We propose \textbf{EEG-AS}, an instance-level algorithm selection framework that characterizes each EEG instance using inference-available latent EEG embeddings, handcrafted neurophysiological features, and an anchor foundation model. During training, EEG-AS learns to reconstruct unavailable foundation-model behaviors from privileged prediction tokens conditioned on an anchor foundation model, while during inference it estimates these behaviors without executing the entire model portfolio, enabling efficient selection from seven EEG foundation models. Experiments on seven public EEG benchmarks demonstrate that EEG-AS substantially narrows the gap between the Single Best Solver (SBS) and the oracle upper bound for each instance. These results highlight the effectiveness of instance-level AS for adaptive deployment of EEG foundation models.
