ArXi:2605.14048v1 Announce Type: cross Masked autoencoders (MAEs) have recently shown promise for self-supervised representation learning of resting-state brain functional connectivity (FC). However, a fundamental question remains unresolved: how should FC matrices be tokenized to align with the intrinsic modular organization of large-scale brain networks? Existing approaches typically adopt region-centric or graph-based schemes that treat FC as structurally homogeneous elements and overlook the large-scale network brain organization. We
