This study introduces a self‑supervised, physics‑guided deep‑learning framework that converts standard clinical T1‑, T2‑, and FLAIR MRIs into quantitative T1, T2, and proton‑density maps. Trained on 4,121 scan sessions from four different 3 T scanners over six years, the method produces maps whose white‑ and gray‑matter values fall within literature ranges and shows minimal variation across scanner hardware and acquisition protocols (coefficients of variation ≤ 1.1 %). Voxel‑wise reproducibility is high, with Pearson and concordance correlation coefficients above 0.82 for T1 and T2 and mean relative differences below 6 % for T2.

The study introduces a meta-learning and pretraining approach to improve neural stimulation response modeling. By extending temporal basis function models with a MAML-based architecture, the authors demonstrate a significant reduction in catastrophic forecast failures and narrower prediction intervals across 40 optogenetic stimulation sessions in non-human primates. The method also cuts calibration requirements by 50–90%, making closed‑loop stimulation more feasible within clinical time constraints.

The study uses 7‑Tesla fMRI data from 20 advanced meditators to test whether regional homogeneity (ReHo) patterns can classify Jhana advanced concentrative absorption meditation (ACAM‑J) states with machine learning. Across 19 binary comparisons, an ensemble of six classifiers achieved an average accuracy of about 66 % and a Cohen’s κ of 0.24, with the highest discrimination between the most distinct states (ACAM‑J1 vs ACAM‑J6). Prefrontal and anterior cingulate regions were the most influential features in the models.
