    NeuroQA: A Large-Scale Image-Grounded Benchmark for 3D Brain MRI Understanding

    Researchers have introduced NeuroQA, a new benchmark designed to evaluate visual question answering capabilities specifically for 3D brain MRI scans. This benchmark includes over 56,000 question-answer pairs derived from more than 12,000 subjects, covering a wide age range and five major clinical areas. NeuroQA aims to overcome limitations of previous medical VQA efforts by utilizing full 3D volumes and implementing strategies to prevent text-only shortcuts, with initial evaluations showing current models struggle to surpass a baseline accuracy.

    Learning fMRI activations dictionaries across individual geometries via optimal transport

    Two new research papers explore advanced geometric and optimal transport methods for analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. The first paper introduces an 'Off-log metric' and Grassmannian subspace discrimination to model the geometry of correlation matrices, improving sensitivity and classification performance in clinical and aging cohorts. The second paper uses optimal transport, specifically the Fused Gromov-Wasserstein distance, to learn fMRI activation dictionaries that account for individual brain geometry variations without relying on common templates.
