Energy, Information, and the Limits of Neuropsychiatric Classification
Farbod Khodadadi, Mina Kheirkhah, Bita Shariatpanahi +15
Importance: The search for reliable neuroimaging biomarkers of mental disorders has remained elusive despite decades of research. Why clinically consequential disorders yield weak…
AI-Driven Neural Surrogates for In Silico Design of Cognitive-Affective Neuromodulation Targets
Marco Rothermel, Madleen Stenger, Soroush Daftarian +7
In neuropsychiatry, the primary goal is often not only to decode brain activity but to change it, for example to lessen a negative affective bias or an overly salient memory. Motiv…
Perturbational Validity for Foundation Models of Brain Dynamics: A Controlled Proof-of-Principle Simulation
José C. Garcí Alanis, Sarah Alizadeh, Marco Rothermel +5
Foundation models for human brain recordings are usually evaluated by signal reconstruction, future-state prediction, and transfer to downstream tasks. However, these benchmarks do…
Neural Constraints on Cognitive Experience and Mental Health
Bita Shariatpanahi, Erfan Nozari, Soroush Daftarian +9
Understanding how neural dynamics shape cognitive experiences remains a central challenge in neuroscience and psychiatry. Here, we present a novel framework leveraging state-to-out…
