Rhamba: Region-Aware Hybrid Attention-Mamba Framework for Self-Supervised Learning in Resting-State fMRI

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.

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.
