• Abstract: Understanding the relationship between cognition and intrinsic brain activity through purely data-driven approaches remains a significant challenge in neuroscience. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) offers a non-invasive method to monitor regional neural activity, providing a rich and complex spatiotemporal data structure. Deep learning has shown promise in capturing these intricate representations. However, the limited availability of large datasets, especially for disease-specific groups such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), constrains the generalizability of deep learning models. In this study, we focus on multivariate time series forecasting of independent component networks derived from rs-fMRI as a form of data augmentation, using both a conventional LSTM-based model and the novel Transformer-based BrainLM model. We assess their utility in AD classification, demonstrating how generative forecasting enhances classification performance. Post-hoc interpretation of BrainLM reveals class-specific brain network sensitivities associated with AD.

  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by memory loss and cognitive decline. Traditional methods, such as Pearson's correlation, have been used to calculate association matrices. We introduce a novel method that integrates discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and graph theory to model the dynamic behavior of brain networks.

  A lifelong learning agent is able to continually learn from potentially infinite streams of pattern sensory data.

This problem is known as catastrophic forgetting (interference) and remains an unsolved problem in the domain of machine learning to this day.
