MVPFormer-S seizure detector (SWEC)

MVPFormer-S with its SWEC LoRA adapters merged in and the seizure classification head attached. Ready for inference.

from braindecode.models import MVPFormer

model = MVPFormer.from_pretrained("braindecode/mvpformer-s-swec")

Outputs 2 classes (non-seizure, seizure).
