contents Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models (EFMs) have shown strong potential for transferable representation learning, yet their adaptation in realistic settings remains challenging when only a few labeled subjects are available. We show that this challenge stems from a structural mismatch between noisy, limited supervision and the highly plastic parameter space of EFMs, reflected in three key failure modes: overconfident miscalibration, prediction collapse, and representation drift caused by unconstrained parameter updates. To address these challenges, we propose SCOPE, a Structured COnfidence-aware Prototype-guided framework for label-limited EFM adaptation. SCOPE first constructs cohort-level external supervision to provide persistent guidance and further derives confidence-aware pseudo-labels to select reliable unlabeled samples for adaptation. Building on the constructed external supervision, SCOPE introduces ProAdapter, a lightweight prototype-conditioned adapter that modulates frozen EFMs to preserve pretrained representations. Experiments across 50 label-limited adaptation settings, covering 6 EEG tasks, 5 EFM backbones, and 5%-50% training labeled-subject ratios, show that SCOPE consistently achieves strong performance and efficiency.
