BrainNext: A General-Purpose Self-Supervised Foundation Model for Brain MRI Analysis
Moona Mazher, Abdul Qayyum, Steven A. Niederer, Daniel C. Alexander
Foundation models pretrained using self-supervised learning have transformed computer vision by learning transferable representations from large-scale unlabeled data. However, existing foundation models for neuroimaging remain limited by task-specific training, slice-based learni…
