MSR-IVA: Masked Structural Residual Independent Vector Analysis for State-Aware Fusion of Structural MRI and Dynamic Functional Network Connectivity

The paper introduces MSR-IVA, a state-aware fusion method that combines a shared structural representation with state‑specific residual adaptations and masks for incomplete state expression. Applied to an Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort, MSR-IVA increased matched source coupling by 6.5% and decreased unmatched dependence by 15.7% compared to a baseline IVA approach. For subjects expressing both states, the method achieved a mean absolute cross‑state structural source correlation of 0.9177, far higher than the 0.2978 obtained without sharing, indicating effective preservation of source correspondence while allowing state‑specific adaptation.

An Attention-Based Framework for Alzheimers Disease Classification Using Resting-State fMRI

arXiv:2607. 26746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate identification of Alzheimers disease (AD) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) remains challenging due to the high dimensionality, noise, and complex inter-regional dependencies inherent in functional brain connectivity, which limit the effectiveness of traditional approaches based on handcrafted connectivity features or conventional machine learning models.

HyperAMS-Net: Adaptive Multi-Scale Spatial Hypergraph Network for Brain Disorder Classification

HyperAMS‑Net is a deep learning framework that classifies brain disorders from resting‑state fMRI or structural MRI data. It combines adaptive multi‑scale convolution, hypergraph attention, spatial‑channel attention, and adaptive feature fusion to capture complementary patterns across multiple scales and higher‑order dependencies. Evaluated on ABIDE, REST‑meta‑MDD, and ADNI datasets, it achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy and AUC, with ablation studies showing hypergraph attention as the most critical component.

BrainATCL: Adaptive Temporal Brain Connectivity Learning for Functional Link Prediction and Age Estimation

BrainATCL is an unsupervised, nonparametric framework that learns adaptive temporal brain connectivity from resting‑state fMRI data. It dynamically adjusts the lookback window for each snapshot based on newly added edges and encodes graph sequences with a GINE‑Mamba2 backbone, incorporating brain‑structure and function‑informed edge attributes. The method is evaluated on functional link prediction and age estimation, showing superior performance and strong generalization, even across sessions.
