BrainSTR: Spatio-Temporal Contrastive Learning for Interpretable Dynamic Brain Network Modeling

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.09825v1 Announce Type: new Dynamic functional connectivity captures time-varying brain states for better neuropsychiatric diagnosis and spatio-temporal interpretability, i.e., identifying when discriminative disease signatures emerge and where they reside in the connectivity topology. Reliable interpretability faces major challenges: diagnostic signals are often subtle and sparsely distributed across both time and topology, while nuisance fluctuations and non-diagnostic connectivities are pervasive.
