ArXi:2603.26716v1 Announce Type: cross Objective: To enable continuous, long-term neuro-monitoring on wearable devices by overcoming the computational bottlenecks of Transformer-based Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models and the quantization challenges inherent to State-Space Models (SSMs). Methods: We present FEMBA, a bidirectional Mamba architecture pre-trained on over 21,000 hours of EEG. We
