Researchers have developed a novel approach called BrainTaskonomy to optimize the pretraining and transfer learning processes for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) foundation models. This method utilizes a Brain-DiT proxy to estimate learning relationships between different fMRI domains, guiding the pretraining curriculum with a priority-guided approach and timestep scheduling. For downstream tasks, BrainTaskonomy constructs a directed taskonomy to select optimal source tasks and transfer routes using budgeted integer programming. This strategy significantly reduces various error metrics and demonstrates strong performance across multiple tasks, revealing asymmetric and target-dependent transfer patterns. AI
