A study evaluates EEG Foundation Models for event-based burst-suppression detection in ICU settings without patient-specific calibration. REVE-base achieved the highest event-based F1-score of 0.868 and reduced burst-per-minute error by 52.1% compared to EEGNet and 36.2% compared to adaptive thresholding, demonstrating superior performance. Ablation results show full fine-tuning outperforms other strategies, and pretrained REVE-base surpasses random initialization by 0.723 F1 points at 25% labeled data, highlighting the value of pretraining for limited datasets.
