Deep Learning Methods in Neuroscience: From Modeling Molecular Mechanisms to Classifying States of Consciousness
This study addresses the limited model interpretability and lack of standardization in classifying states of consciousness and modeling anesthetized brain dynamics by proposing a hybrid, generalizable architecture that integrates physiological priors. By combining deep neural networks, multiscale computational modeling, and clustering algorithms, this work jointly analyzes EEG, fMRI, and LFP data to achieve automated brain state classification and structure–function dynamical modeling, while supporting real-time EEG/LFP-based monitoring. The proposed framework is validated for its efficacy in predicting brain states and elucidating connectivity patterns, thereby overcoming conventional black-box limitations. It significantly enhances the capacity to resolve the specificity of consciousness markers and establishes its core potential for translational applications in clinical neuroscience.
