The paper presents a study on using deep learning models to analyze resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) classification. The authors utilize multivariate time series forecasting as a form of data augmentation, comparing conventional LSTM-based models with novel Transformer-based BrainLM models. They demonstrate that generative forecasting enhances classification performance and provide post-hoc interpretation revealing class-specific brain network sensitivities associated with AD.

The paper uses brain imaging to understand Alzheimer’s Disease. It uses special computer programs (deep learning) to look at brain activity when people are just resting. This helps doctors make better predictions about who might get the disease. The study finds that this method works really well and can even help identify specific parts of the brain affected by AD.
