3 3  This project 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**.

14 +**We Use EBRAINS for Data & Collaboration**
15 +
16 +* Store **biomarker and neuroimaging data** in **EBRAINS Buckets**.
17 +* Run **Jupyter Notebooks** in **EBRAINS Lab** to test AI models.
18 +* Use **EBRAINS Wiki** for structured documentation and research discussion.

26 +
27 +Neurodiagnoses integrates clinical data via the **EBRAINS Medical Informatics Platform (MIP)**. MIP federates decentralized clinical data, allowing Neurodiagnoses to securely access and process sensitive information for AI-based diagnostics.
28 +
29 +==== How It Works ====
30 +
31 +
32 +1. (((
33 +**Authentication & API Access:**
34 +
35 +* Users must have an **EBRAINS account**.
36 +* Neurodiagnoses uses **secure API endpoints** to fetch clinical data (e.g., from the **Federation for Dementia**).
37 +)))
38 +1. (((
39 +**Data Mapping & Harmonization:**
40 +
41 +* Retrieved data is **normalized** and converted to standard formats (.csv, .json).
42 +* Data from **multiple sources** is harmonized to ensure consistency for AI processing.
43 +)))
44 +1. (((
45 +**Security & Compliance:**
46 +
47 +* All data access is **logged and monitored**.
48 +* Data remains on **MIP servers** using **federated learning techniques** when possible.
49 +* Access is granted only after signing a **Data Usage Agreement (DUA)**.
50 +)))
51 +
52 +==== Implementation Steps ====
53 +
54 +
55 +1. Clone the repository.
56 +1. Configure your **EBRAINS API credentials** in mip_integration.py.
57 +1. Run the script to **download and harmonize clinical data**.
58 +1. Process the data for **AI model training**.

77 +1. (((
78 +**Automated Biomarker Extraction:**
79 +
80 +* Standardized extraction of **volumetric, metabolic, and functional biomarkers**.
81 +* Integration with machine learning models in Neurodiagnoses.
82 +)))
83 +1. (((
84 +**Data Security & Compliance:**
85 +
86 +* Clinica.Run operates in **compliance with GDPR and HIPAA**.
87 +* Neuroimaging data remains **within the original storage environment**.
88 +)))
89 +
90 +==== Implementation Steps ====
91 +
92 +
93 +1. Install **Clinica.Run** dependencies.
94 +1. Configure your **Clinica.Run pipeline** in clinica_run_config.json.
95 +1. Run the pipeline for **preprocessing and biomarker extraction**.
96 +1. Use processed neuroimaging data for **AI-driven diagnostics** in Neurodiagnoses.
