The study evaluates how different graph topologies influence the localization of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) from resting‑state stereo‑EEG recordings in 40 patients. Using a consistent learning model and leave‑one‑patient‑out validation, the authors compare dense graphs, anatomy‑ and geometry‑informed priors, budgeted sparsification, learned sparsification, and a new Region‑Bridge‑c topology. At about 30% edge retention, Region‑Bridge‑c achieves the highest mean PR‑AUC and ROC‑AUC while using roughly 69% fewer edges than a dense graph, indicating that graph construction significantly impacts EZ localization performance.
arXiv:2602. 11801v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Accurate localization of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) from intracranial EEG (iEEG) is essential for epilepsy surgery but is challenged by complex spatiotemporal seizure dynamics.
arXiv:2607. 14314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Seizure diagnosis from EEG signals is a critical yet persistently challenging task, due to the complicated neural dynamics and the spurious connections in inter-channel modeling.
The paper introduces HyBrain, a model that uses spatiotemporal hyperedges to capture coordinated EEG seizure activity more efficiently than pairwise edge approaches. By generating one token per channel per second and pooling them into shared hyperedge embeddings, HyBrain performs well across detection and prediction tasks on TUSZ and CHB‑MIT datasets, achieving top AUROC scores and competitive training resources. A qualitative example shows a single hyperedge tracking the preictal‑ictal‑postictal progression of a real seizure.

The paper introduces Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning (XGML) to build individual metabolic brain graphs from FDG-PET data and identify subgraphs predictive of multivariate Alzheimer’s disease outcomes. Using ADNI data, the best model—kernel density estimation with Hellinger distance and random forest—achieved a Pearson correlation of 0.595 across eight cognitive scores, with the highest performance on ADAS13, ADAS11, and ADASQ4. Key edges were found to be jointly but differentially predictive, indicating potential network biomarkers for cognitive decline, though external validation on OASIS3 showed weaker performance likely due to cohort differences.
Functional brain networks exhibit a hierarchical organization across ROI, community, and whole-brain levels, supporting local processing, inter-community coordination, and global integration. Recent studies have demonstrated that brain community-aware modeling is beneficial for both diagnosis and biomarker identification of brain networks.

The growing number of medical vision foundation models highlights the need for effective model selection. However, mainstream selection methods rely on exhaustive fine-tuning, which is computationally expensive.
