Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. While modern vision models achieve strong performance in image recognition, their correspondence with the hierarchical organization of the human visual cortex remains an open question.

The paper introduces a Geometric-to-Semantic Spherical Transfer Learning framework for labeling cortical sulci on brain surfaces. It first pre‑trains a spherical encoder on ~30,000 unlabeled UK Biobank subjects using only curvature and depth, then injects sulcal fundi lines as a soft‑initialized Topological Prior Injector to bridge the geometric‑semantic gap. Experiments show the method surpasses fully supervised baselines, achieving a mean Dice score of 0.77 and delivering the largest gains on variable and tertiary sulci.

Rhamba is a region‑aware pretraining framework for resting‑state fMRI that combines anatomically guided masking with hybrid Attention‑Mamba architectures. The study pretrained models on the ABIDE dataset using three masking strategies (Any, Majority, Pure) and evaluated four architectural variants, finding that the Mamba‑Attention (MA) hybrid achieved the best average AUROC on downstream schizophrenia and ADHD classification tasks. Explainable AI via Integrated Gradients highlighted that performance depends on the interaction between masking strategy and architecture rather than a single dominant configuration.
