1 +**# Neurodiagnoses AI: Multimodal AI for Neurodiagnostic Predictions**
2 2  
3 -Neurodiagnoses develops a tridimensional diagnostic framework for CNS diseases, incorporating AI-powered annotation tools to improve interpretability, standardization, and clinical utility. The methodology integrates multi-modal data, including genetic, neuroimaging, neurophysiological, and biomarker datasets, and applies machine learning models to generate structured, explainable diagnostic outputs.
3 +## **Project Overview**
4 +Neurodiagnoses AI implements AI-driven diagnostic and prognostic models for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, adapting the Florey Dementia Index (FDI) methodology to a broader set of neurological conditions. The approach integrates **multimodal data sources** (EEG, neuroimaging, biomarkers, and genetics) and employs **machine learning models** to provide **explainable, real-time diagnostic insights**.##
