1		-=== **Overview** ===
	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.

3		-This section describes the step-by-step process used in the **Neurodiagnoses** project to develop a novel diagnostic framework for neurological diseases. The methodology integrates artificial intelligence (AI), biomedical ontologies, and computational neuroscience to create a structured, interpretable, and scalable diagnostic system.
