Continual learning is an intellectual ability of artificial agents to learn new streaming labels from sequential data. The main impediment continual catastrophic forgetting, a severe performance degradation on previously learned tasks. Although simply replaying all previous data or continuously adding the model parameters could alleviate issue, it impractical in real-world applications due limited available resources. Inspired by mechanism human brain deepen its past impression, we propose...

Decoding language from brain dynamics is an important open direction in the realm of brain-computer interface (BCI), especially considering rapid growth large models. Compared to invasive-based signals which require electrode implantation surgery, non-invasive neural (e.g. EEG, MEG) have attracted increasing attention their safety and generality. However, exploration not adequate three aspects: 1) previous methods mainly focus on EEG but none works address this problem MEG with better signal...
