Indian Team Releases MANAS 1 EEG Foundation Model
An Indian team led by Dr Puneet Agarwal unveiled MANAS 1, an open-source 400-million-parameter EEG foundation model trained on 60,000 hours from over 25,000 patients, released during a recent AI summit and hosted on Hugging Face. Backed by the Indian AI Mission, the model aims to decode brain electrical signals for earlier detection of epilepsy, dementia, and psychiatric disorders, and to enable disease-specific tools requiring regulatory approval.
