Researchers have developed GenFAR, a deep learning framework designed to extract generalizable features from brain MRIs. This modular architecture was trained on over 49,000 MRIs across 11 cohorts and 17 diverse tasks, including cognition, clinical diagnoses, and biomarkers. The framework utilizes a sequential learning approach, identifying an optimal sequence of six tasks and a 'Donor Score' metric to quantify task contributions. Key tasks like Age, AD/MCI, MMSE, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia formed the foundation of the model, demonstrating improved accuracy and sample efficiency for downstream prediction tasks. AI
