This paper introduces an advanced multimodal classification model that integrates clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging, and EEG data to enhance diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The model incorporates a feature tagger with a tabular data coding architecture and utilizes the TimesBlock module to capture intricate temporal patterns in Electroencephalograms (EEG) data. By employing Cross-modal Attention Aggregation module, the model effectively fuses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) spatial information with EEG temporal data, significantly improving the distinction between AD, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Normal Cognition. The paper also constructs the first AD classification dataset that includes three modalities: EEG, MRI, and tabular data. This innovative approach aims to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention, potentially slowing the progression of AD.

This study helps doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s disease better by using a combination of different types of data, such as brain scans, tests of memory and thinking, and recordings of brain waves. The researchers created a special computer model that can look at all this information together to make a more accurate diagnosis. This could help people get the right treatment sooner and slow down the progression of the disease.
