Evidence
Figures and tables below come from two exploratory manuscripts:- Resource ladder — When Should a Deployed BCI Decoder Spend Adaptation Resources? (Paper 1)
- Universal Personalizer — One Personalizer Across Many Trunks (Paper 1b)
Cost bake-off (BNCI primary)
Under severe feature shift with n=40 labeled stream trials, a Bayesian head recovers most of the full fine-tune accuracy gain at a fraction of the adaptation fit wall.
Recovery = Δacc / Δacc_fullFT. On Zhou2016 (supporting, 4 subjects) the same cell is softer (~46% recovery at ~5.5× lower fit time).
Head vs fine-tune (same API)


Transfer across trunks
The same Personalizer ladder is evaluated over an 18-cell trunk×dataset map. Soft clean→L0 transfer is common; the full ordinal principle is rarer — honesty beats overclaim.
Product claim (honest boundaries)
Not claimed: general cross-session magic, physical electrode robustness, “improves all EEG,” SOTA over EEGNet, suite-wide 30× ratios from other protocols, or shipped “Active Inference for EEG.”
