1 -**Neurodiagnoses AI** is an open-source, AI-driven framework designed to enhance the diagnosis and prognosis of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Building upon the Florey Dementia Index (FDI) methodology, it now encompasses a broader spectrum of neurological conditions. The system integrates multimodal data sources—including EEG, neuroimaging, biomarkers, and genetics—and employs machine learning models to deliver explainable, real-time diagnostic insights. A key feature of this framework is the incorporation of the **Generalized Neuro Biomarker Ontology Categorization (Neuromarker)**, which standardizes biomarker classification across all neurodegenerative diseases, facilitating cross-disease AI training.
1 +== **Overview** ==

3 -**Neuromarker: Generalized Biomarker Ontology**
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.

5 -Neuromarker extends the Common Alzheimer’s Disease Research Ontology (CADRO) into a comprehensive biomarker categorization framework applicable to all neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). This ontology enables standardized classification, AI-based feature extraction, and seamless multimodal data integration.
