Abstract: We present PhysioWave-T, a token-efficient wavelet foundation model family for EEG, ECG, and sEMG. Dynamic scale folding recombines J+1 wavelet subbands prior to tokenization, compressing sequence length from (J+1)CS to CS tokens for J levels, C channels, and S temporal patches. Route-specific front ends and learned channel-name embeddings allow one Transformer per modality to handle diverse montages and sampling rates, while unseen setups reuse the backbone via lightweight adapters. We pre-train a 30M-parameter EEG model on over 15M windows (19–128 channels), alongside ECG (30M) and sEMG (12M) encoders. Across four EEG routes, scale folding cuts Transformer latency by 4.0–7.2x and peak memory by 6.8–12.7x over scale expansion without accuracy loss. Our EEG encoder leads 8 of 9 metrics against BENDR, BIOT, LaBraM, and EEGPT, and surpasses LUNA-L on wearable seizure detection with fewer parameters. Reliability-aware latent fusion (RALF) further integrates summary tokens from independently pre-trained encoders via sample-adaptive weights. On SeizeIT2, RALF raises event sensitivity at 11 false alarms/h from 61.4% to 74.4% and window AUPRC from 0.321 to 0.399 over the best unimodal baseline, outperforming weighted-logit and concatenation fusion across all variants. PhysioWave-T also achieves state-of-the-art sEMG accuracies and top macro-F1 on PTB-XL Super and Chapman-Shaoxing. Code and models: https://github.com/ForeverBlue816/PhysioWave.
