1 -**# Neurodiagnoses AI: Multimodal AI for Neurodiagnostic Predictions**
1 +Here is the updated **Methodology** section for the EBRAINS Wiki, incorporating the **Generalized Neuro Biomarker Ontology Categorization (Neuromarker)** for **biomarker classification across all neurodegenerative diseases**.
2 2  
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**.##

6 -## **How to Use External Databases in Neurodiagnoses**
7 -To enhance diagnostic accuracy, Neurodiagnoses integrates data from multiple biomedical and neurological research databases. Researchers can follow these steps to access, prepare, and integrate data into the Neurodiagnoses framework.##

9 +Neurodiagnoses AI implements **AI-driven diagnostic and prognostic models** for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, expanding 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**. This framework now incorporates **Neuromarker**, a **generalized biomarker ontology** that categorizes biomarkers across neurodegenerative diseases, enabling **standardized, cross-disease AI training**.
