• CAMOS: Coupled Oscillatory State-Space Model for Multimodal Clinical Time-Series

  Maxx Richard Rahman, Mostafa Hammouda, Wolfgang Maass · 1 de octubre de 2026

  Longitudinal clinical cohorts are multimodal, irregularly sampled and pervasively incomplete: in ADNI, positron emission tomography and cerebrospinal fluid assays are absent from roughly half of all visits. Linear state-space models handle irregular sampling gracefully but treat a missing modality b…

  Xiao Fan, Jingyuan Li, Yubo Han, Hongbin Guo, Guanya Li, Yang Hu, Wenchao Zhang, Weibin Ji, Yi Zhang · 25 de septiembre de 2026

  Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) is widely used to classify brain phenotypes and disorders. Most pipelines use the full connectome and seek gains through model design. We instead examine how FC geometry constrains classification and cross-site transfer. Across-subject FC variation concentr…

  Saeb Tounsi, Jo\"el Chavas, Pietro Gori, Vincent Frouin, Denis Rivi\`ere, Jean-Fran\c{c}ois Mangin · 14 de septiembre de 2026

  Deep learning on cortical surfaces faces a dilemma: capturing the complex topology of over 60 nomenclature-dependent sulci per hemisphere requires high-capacity models, yet the extreme scarcity of expert annotations ($N=62$ subjects) inevitably causes overfitting. Standard supervised approaches fail…

  Saurabh Sihag, Andrea Cavallo, Elvin Isufi, Gonzalo Mateos, Alejandro Ribeiro · 10 de septiembre de 2026

  This feature article provides an overview of the theoretical foundations for coVariance neural networks (VNNs), i.e., graph neural networks (GNNs) operating on covariance matrices as graphs. Covariance matrices are ubiquitous across domains, and hence, the deployment of GNNs often leverages graphs o…

  Junfeng Xia, Wenhao Ye, Junxiang Zhang, Jiayu Zuo, Mo Wang, Quanying Liu · 10 de septiembre de 2026

  fMRI foundation models increasingly aggregate heterogeneous data across brain states, cohorts, and acquisition settings, yet pretraining domains are commonly treated as a flat mixture and downstream tasks are adapted independently. We study whether measured learning relations can organize both stage…
