Multi-Source Multi-View Graph Domain Adaptation with Hyperbolic Residual Encoding for Cross-Site MDD Identification from rs-fMRI

Cross-site identification of major depressive disorder (MDD) from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is hindered by inter-site distribution shifts and heterogeneous functional connectivity (FC) views. These views capture complementary neural relationships but exhibit distinct site biases and graph topologies, complicating alignment without sacrificing disease-relevant information or cross-view consistency. Existing studies largely treat multi-view connectome learning and cross-site adaptation separately. To the best of our knowledge, few studies have jointly modeled multiple FC views under multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation for cross-site rs-fMRI-based MDD classification. We construct Pearson correlation, sparse representation, and Granger causality graphs, each encoded by a view-specific graph attention network. Dual-stream adaptive fusion explicitly integrates pairwise cross-view interactions, followed by lightweight hyperbolic residual encoding for curvature-aware representation refinement. Class-wise Cauchy--Schwarz alignment reduces inter-source and source-target discrepancies, complemented by adversarial learning, information maximization, and confidence-aware pseudo-labeling. Across seven unlabeled target domains, our framework achieves 73.60% mean accuracy and 71.90% AUC, demonstrating effective generalization under heterogeneous acquisition conditions. These results highlight the effectiveness of unified heterogeneous-view modeling, curvature-aware refinement, and multi-source domain adaptation for cross-site MDD identification.The source code is at https://github.com/OPUS-Lightphenexx/MM-HyperGDA

SleepVLM: A Rule-Grounded Vision-Language Model for Auditable Sleep Staging

Sleep staging is essential for sleep assessment and disorder diagnosis. In recent years, automatic sleep staging systems have achieved accuracy approaching that of human experts, but the black-box nature of their predictions hinders clinical adoption. Existing interpretability methods offer partial insight into model behavior, but their outputs still require expert reinterpretation and do not provide a direct basis for auditing individual predictions. To improve trustworthiness, we propose the task of auditable sleep staging. To solve this task, we present SleepVLM, a vision-language model that casts sleep staging as visual reasoning over rendered polysomnography (PSG) waveform images. For each epoch, SleepVLM outputs a stage together with the applicable American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) rules and an auditable rationale. The model is trained using a two-stage framework: Waveform-Perceptual Pre-training followed by Rule-Grounded Supervised Fine-tuning over a mixture of fine-grained and coarse annotations. Experiments on four datasets show that SleepVLM outperforms state-of-the-art methods on average. An automated AASM-feature audit shows broad coverage of stage-defining evidence in the rationales, and independent experts validate their reasoning quality. To facilitate further research, we construct and release MASS-EX, an expert-annotated dataset for rule-grounded sleep staging with AASM rule annotations and expert-written rationales.

EEGAgent: A Unified Framework for Automated EEG Analysis Using Large Language Models

Scalable and generalizable analysis of brain activity is essential for advancing both clinical diagnostics and cognitive research. Electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive modality with high temporal resolution, has been widely used for brain states analysis. However, most existing EEG models are usually tailored for individual specific tasks, limiting their utility in realistic scenarios where EEG analysis often involves multi-task and continuous reasoning. In this work, we introduce EEGAgent, a general-purpose framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to schedule and plan multiple tools to automatically complete EEG-related tasks. EEGAgent is capable of performing the key functions: EEG basic information perception, spatiotemporal EEG exploration, EEG event detection, interaction with users, and EEG report generation. To realize these capabilities, we design a toolbox composed of different tools for EEG preprocessing, feature extraction, event detection, etc. These capabilities were evaluated on public datasets, and our EEGAgent can support flexible and interpretable EEG analysis, highlighting its potential for real-world clinical applications.

SPICED: A Synaptic Homeostasis-Inspired Framework for Unsupervised Continual EEG Decoding

Human brain achieves dynamic stability-plasticity balance through synaptic homeostasis. Inspired by this biological principle, we propose SPICED: a neuromorphic framework that integrates the synaptic homeostasis mechanism for unsupervised continual EEG decoding, particularly addressing practical scenarios where new individuals with inter-individual variability emerge continually. SPICED comprises a novel synaptic network that enables dynamic expansion during continual adaptation through three bio-inspired neural mechanisms: (1) critical memory reactivation; (2) synaptic consolidation and (3) synaptic renormalization. The interplay within synaptic homeostasis dynamically strengthens task-discriminative memory traces and weakens detrimental memories. By integrating these mechanisms with continual learning system, SPICED preferentially replays task-discriminative memory traces that exhibit strong associations with newly emerging individuals, thereby achieving robust adaptations. Meanwhile, SPICED effectively mitigates catastrophic forgetting by suppressing the replay prioritization of detrimental memories during long-term continual learning. Validated on three EEG datasets, SPICED show its effectiveness.

Evaluating Large Language Models in Crisis Detection: A Real-World Benchmark from Psychological Support Hotlines

Psychological support hotlines serve as critical lifelines for crisis intervention but encounter significant challenges due to rising demand and limited resources. Large language models (LLMs) offer potential support in crisis assessments, yet their effectiveness in emotionally sensitive, real-world clinical settings remains underexplored. We introduce PsyCrisisBench, a comprehensive benchmark of 540 annotated transcripts from the Hangzhou Psychological Assistance Hotline, assessing four key tasks: mood status recognition, suicidal ideation detection, suicide plan identification, and risk assessment. 64 LLMs across 15 model families (including closed-source such as GPT, Claude, Gemini and open-source such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek) were evaluated using zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuning paradigms. LLMs showed strong results in suicidal ideation detection (F1=0.880), suicide plan identification (F1=0.779), and risk assessment (F1=0.907), with notable gains from few-shot prompting and fine-tuning. Compared to trained human operators, LLMs achieved comparable or superior performance on suicide plan identification and risk assessment, while humans retained advantages on mood status recognition and suicidal ideation detection. Mood status recognition remained challenging (max F1=0.709), likely due to missing vocal cues and semantic ambiguity. Notably, a fine-tuned 1.5B-parameter model (Qwen2.5-1.5B) outperformed larger models on mood and suicidal ideation tasks. LLMs demonstrate performance broadly comparable to trained human operators in text-based crisis assessment, with complementary strengths across task types. PsyCrisisBench provides a robust, real-world evaluation framework to guide future model development and ethical deployment in clinical mental health.

Personalized Sleep Staging Leveraging Source-free Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Sleep staging is crucial for assessing sleep quality and diagnosing related disorders. Recent deep learning models for automatic sleep staging using polysomnography often suffer from poor generalization to new subjects because they are trained and tested on the same labeled datasets, overlooking individual differences. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel Source-Free Unsupervised Individual Domain Adaptation (SF-UIDA) framework. This two-step adaptation scheme allows the model to effectively adjust to new unlabeled individuals without needing source data, facilitating personalized customization in clinical settings. Our framework has been applied to three established sleep staging models and tested on three public datasets, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

CBraMod: A Criss-Cross Brain Foundation Model for EEG Decoding

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique to measure and record brain electrical activity, widely used in various BCI and healthcare applications. Early EEG decoding methods rely on supervised learning, limited by specific tasks and datasets, hindering model performance and generalizability. With the success of large language models, there is a growing body of studies focusing on EEG foundation models. However, these studies still leave challenges: Firstly, most of existing EEG foundation models employ full EEG modeling strategy. It models the spatial and temporal dependencies between all EEG patches together, but ignores that the spatial and temporal dependencies are heterogeneous due to the unique structural characteristics of EEG signals. Secondly, existing EEG foundation models have limited generalizability on a wide range of downstream BCI tasks due to varying formats of EEG data, making it challenging to adapt to. To address these challenges, we propose a novel foundation model called CBraMod. Specifically, we devise a criss-cross transformer as the backbone to thoroughly leverage the structural characteristics of EEG signals, which can model spatial and temporal dependencies separately through two parallel attention mechanisms. And we utilize an asymmetric conditional positional encoding scheme which can encode positional information of EEG patches and be easily adapted to the EEG with diverse formats. CBraMod is pre-trained on a very large corpus of EEG through patch-based masked EEG reconstruction. We evaluate CBraMod on up to 10 downstream BCI tasks (12 public datasets). CBraMod achieves the state-of-the-art performance across the wide range of tasks, proving its strong capability and generalizability. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/wjq-learning/CBraMod.

Generalizable Sleep Staging via Multi-Level Domain Alignment

Automatic sleep staging is essential for sleep assessment and disorder diagnosis. Most existing methods depend on one specific dataset and are limited to be generalized to other unseen datasets, for which the training data and testing data are from the same dataset. In this paper, we introduce domain generalization into automatic sleep staging and propose the task of generalizable sleep staging which aims to improve the model generalization ability to unseen datasets. Inspired by existing domain generalization methods, we adopt the feature alignment idea and propose a framework called SleepDG to solve it. Considering both of local salient features and sequential features are important for sleep staging, we propose a Multi-level Feature Alignment combining epoch-level and sequence-level feature alignment to learn domain-invariant feature representations. Specifically, we design an Epoch-level Feature Alignment to align the feature distribution of each single sleep epoch among different domains, and a Sequence-level Feature Alignment to minimize the discrepancy of sequential features among different domains. SleepDG is validated on five public datasets, achieving the state-of-the-art performance.
