EEG/EMG Foundation Challenge 2026#

Estimated reading time:2 minutes

Runnable EEGDash companions for the four announced 2026 competition tracks. Each tutorial shows the seed-corpus query, the held-out evaluation axis, and the track metric on a deterministic synthetic analogue that builds offline.

The synthetic scores are teaching checks, not leaderboard baselines. Use the official NeuralBench evaluator for competition results: https://facebookresearch.github.io/neuroai/neuralbench/auto_examples/biosignal_challenge_2026/index.html

What you will learn:

  • Track 1: map EEG to image embeddings and measure top-5 retrieval accuracy on unseen stimuli.

  • Track 2: decode BCI commands across sessions with balanced accuracy.

  • Track 3: predict sleep-onset latency across held-out subjects and devices, and understand the official weighted, binned error metric.

  • Track 4: decode EMG keystrokes across users and measure character error rate.

Run the tutorials:

  1. tutorial_track_1_eeg_to_image.py – cross-stimulus EEG-to-image.

  2. tutorial_track_2_bci.py – cross-session BCI commands.

  3. tutorial_track_3_sleep_onset.py – cross-subject onset regression.

  4. tutorial_track_4_emg_to_text.py – cross-user EMG-to-text.
