Clinical Feasibility of Smartphone-based EEG in Kenya

Purpose: Access to electroencephalography (EEG) remains limited across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to cost, infrastructure requirements, and a shortage of trained staff. This study evaluated the feasibility and clinical utility of a smartphone-based EEG system in a real-world setting. Methods: We conducted a multicenter observational study (November 2023 to April 2026) across 29 clinical sites in Kenya. A smartphone-based 27-lead EEG system enabled trained healthcare workers to acquire standardized recordings with remote expert interpretation. Results: 3,036 EEG sessions were performed. Male patients constituted 57.8% of the cohort, with representation across pediatric and adult populations. The most common referral indication was seizures or convulsions (68.5%). Overall, 2,915 (96%) recordings were interpretable, while 121 (4%) were uninterpretable, primarily due to high electrode impedance and insufficient recording duration. Uninterpretable recordings were significantly shorter than interpretable recordings (mean 18.5 vs. 33.8 minutes; median 15.1 vs. 31.6 minutes; p < 0.0001). Mean turnaround time for interpretation was 107 minutes. Among interpretable recordings, 917 (30.2%) were abnormal, including 701 (76.4%) with epileptiform abnormalities, 215 (23.4%) with non-epileptiform findings, and 1 (0.1%) indeterminate finding. Epileptiform abnormalities were highest in children aged 4-9 years (33.1%) and less frequent in adults (14-21%). Non-epileptiform abnormalities were more common in patients aged 60+ years (19.2%) compared to younger age groups (3-9%). Conclusion: Large-scale, point-of-care EEG acquisition by non-specialist operators in a resource-limited setting is feasible. Expansion of smartphone-based EEG systems may improve equitable access to neurological diagnosis and care in LMICs.

Mechanistic Interpretability of EEG Foundation Models via Sparse Autoencoders

EEG foundation models achieve state-of-the-art clinical performance, yet the internal computations driving their predictions remain opaque: a barrier to clinical trust. We apply TopK Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) across three architecturally distinct EEG transformers: SleepFM, REVE, and LaBraM to extract sparse feature dictionaries from their embeddings. By grounding these features in a clinical taxonomy (abnormality, age, sex, and medication), we benchmark monosemanticity and entanglement across architectures. A single hyperparameter procedure, driven by an intrinsic dictionary health audit, transfers robustly across all three architectures. Via concept steering, we introduce a "target vs. off-target" probe area metric to quantify steering selectivity and reveal three operational regimes: selectively steerable, encoded but entangled, and non-encoded. This framework exposes critical representational failures: "wrecking-ball" interventions that collapse global model performance, and clinical entanglements, such as age-pathology confounding, where it is impossible to suppress one concept without corrupting the other. Finally, a spectral decoder maps these interventions back to the amplitude spectrum, translating latent manipulations into physiologically interpretable frequency signatures, such as pathological slow-wave suppression and $α$-band restoration.

Membership Inference Attacks for Face Images Against Fine-Tuned Latent Diffusion Models

The rise of generative image models leads to privacy concerns when it comes to the huge datasets used to train such models. This paper investigates the possibility of inferring if a set of face images was used for fine-tuning a Latent Diffusion Model (LDM). A Membership Inference Attack (MIA) method is presented for this task. Using generated auxiliary data for the training of the attack model leads to significantly better performance, and so does the use of watermarks. The guidance scale used for inference was found to have a significant influence. If a LDM is fine-tuned for long enough, the text prompt used for inference has no significant influence. The proposed MIA is found to be viable in a realistic black-box setup against LDMs fine-tuned on face-images.
