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.
