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**.
1 +== **Overview** ==
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.

7 -=== **Project Overview** ===
9 +To enhance the accuracy of our diagnostic models, Neurodiagnoses integrates data from multiple biomedical and neurological research databases. If you are a researcher, 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**.

It allows for **standardized classification, AI-based feature extraction, and multimodal integration**.
