🏆 EEG/EMG Foundation Challenge 2026¶
Starter kit for the EEG/EMG Foundation Challenge 2026, whose four tracks ask one question each: does your model still work on a new stimulus, a new session, or a new person? The challenge runs from 21 September to 21 November 2026, and its winners are announced at the Brain & Body Workshop at NeurIPS 2026.
Cross-stimulus. Retrieve the viewed image from one EEG epoch, against a gallery of images the model never trained on.
Cross-session. Decode one of three cued mental commands on a day the user was not calibrated on.
Cross-night, cross-user. Predict seconds to the first N2 epoch from wearable EEG, on seen and unseen sleepers alike.
Cross-user. Regress 20 hand-joint angles from wrist sEMG, on new users and new movement stages.
Read the overview first if you are new here: it explains what NeuralBench is, how it relates to the challenge, and what the baseline numbers are. Then jump to the track you plan to submit to. The competition website owns registration, the submission window, the rules, and the prizes.
