• Abstract: Imagined handwriting offers a temporally rich paradigm for non-invasive neural decoding, yet reliable recognition across unseen participants remains difficult because scalp EEG is noisy and internally generated stroke sequences vary across individuals. The Multimodal Brain-Computer Interface Grand Challenge provides synchronized EEG and fNIRS for four-class subject-independent handwriting-trajectory classification. We propose FRED, a task-adapted system that models imagined handwriting as a multi-second motor sequence and trains a compact multi-scale temporal network on three complementary EEG frequency views. With three seeds per view, cross-band members produce substantially less-correlated errors than same-band replicas, yielding a clean nine-member ensemble accuracy of 0.8076/0.7242/0.7492 on the public/private/overall test partitions without test-set adaptation or output constraints. The submitted pipeline further incorporates transductive pseudo-label training, three EEG-Conformer members, posterior aggregation, and a paradigm-aware decoder. Because every 12-trial randomization block contains three instances of each class, the final predictions are obtained by Hungarian assignment under the known block quota. On one fixed posterior pool, independent, session-constrained, and block-constrained decoding achieve 0.7600, 0.7758, and 0.7952 overall accuracy, respectively. The complete system reaches 0.8498/0.7718/0.7952, ranking fourth on the private split. A modality audit finds fNIRS-only decoding at chance (0.2511 overall), while adding fNIRS to EEG changes accuracy by only +0.0025. These results identify frequency-diverse temporal EEG modeling and protocol-matched structured inference as the principal sources of performance in this sparse-montage EEG--fNIRS setting.

  Existing databases for ECG delineation are small, being insufficient in size and in the array of pathological conditions they represent. This article delves has two main contributions. First, a pseudo-synthetic data generation algorithm was developed, based in probabilistically composing ECG traces given "pools" of fundamental segments, as cropped from the original databases, and a set of rules for their arrangement into coherent synthetic traces. Second, two novel segmentation-based loss functions have been developed, which attempt at enforcing the prediction of an exact number of independent structures and at producing closer segmentation boundaries by focusing on a reduced number of samples.
