Brain-Semantoks: Learning Semantic Tokens of Brain Dynamics with a Self-Distilled Foundation Model

ICLR 2026poster

The development of foundation models for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series holds significant promise for predicting phenotypes related to disease and cognition. Current models, however, are often trained using a mask-and-reconstruct objective on small brain regions. This focus…

Scaling Vision Transformers for Functional MRI with Flat Maps

ICML 2026poster

We propose a simple strategy for training a foundation model on functional MRI (fMRI) data: we adapt the standard Vision Transformer to fMRI by first converting each 3D fMRI volume to a 2D map using a standard cortical flat map projection. We train spatiotemporal masked autoencoders (MAE) on 2.3K ho…
