1 -**Neurodiagnoses AI** is an open-source, AI-driven framework designed to enhance the diagnosis and prognosis of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It 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) **and** Disease Knowledge Transfer (DKT)**, which standardizes disease and biomarker classification across all CNS 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.**
4 4  
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.
5 +This methodology integrates **multi-modal data**, including:
6 +**Genetic data** (whole-genome sequencing, polygenic risk scores).
7 +**Neuroimaging** (MRI, PET, EEG, MEG).
8 +**Neurophysiological data** (EEG-based biomarkers, sleep actigraphy).
9 +**CSF & Blood Biomarkers** (Amyloid-beta, Tau, Neurofilament Light).
