3D MRI-Based Alzheimer's Disease Classification Using Multi-Modal 3D CNN with Leakage-Aware Subject-Level Evaluation

The paper presents a multimodal 3D convolutional neural network that classifies Alzheimer’s disease using raw OASIS 1 MRI volumes. It fuses structural T1 images with gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid probability maps to capture complementary neuroanatomical information. Evaluated with 5‑fold subject‑level cross‑validation, the model achieves a mean accuracy of 72.34 % and an ROC AUC of 0.7781, with GradCAM visualizations highlighting anatomically relevant regions such as the medial temporal lobe and ventricles.

LEAD: An EEG Foundation Model for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

LEAD is a gated temporal‑spatial Transformer foundation model designed for EEG‑based Alzheimer's disease detection. It was trained on the world’s largest EEG‑AD corpus of 2,238 subjects and uses a subject‑regularized strategy and medical contrastive learning across 13 datasets. LEAD outperforms existing methods on five downstream AD datasets, achieving the best average ranking across 20 evaluations.

Leveraging a Foundation Model for the EEG-Based Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease

The paper presents a diagnostic framework for Alzheimer’s disease that uses the Large Brain Model (LaBraM), a foundation model pretrained on over 2,500 hours of EEG data, to generate high‑dimensional latent embeddings. These embeddings are fed into a non‑linear Random Forest classifier, achieving an ROC‑AUC of 89.36% ± 3.49%, PR AUC of 81.45% ± 4.43%, and Balanced Accuracy of 82.44% ± 4.34% in a subject‑independent 5‑fold cross‑validation setting, using only 8‑second EEG segments. Post‑hoc occlusion and neurophysiological alignment analyses confirm that the model captures clinically validated biomarkers such as occipital‑frontal Alpha and Theta rhythm degradation and correlates with cognitive performance and clinical severity.
