To address this challenge, we introduce the Synergistic Entrainment Framework, which conceptualizes the brain as a dynamical system in which neural oscillations create periodic windows of excitability that regulate when information can be effectively processed. Within this framework, rhythmic inputs from different physical modalities (e.g., sensory streams and electromagnetic stimulation) can interact nonlinearly, leading to amplification or stabilization of neural responses, when their timing is aligned with ongoing cortical phase dynamics. We propose that this interaction operates across three coupled scales: (i) microscopic constructive interference that amplifies local neural responses, (ii) mesoscopic phase resetting that aligns regional excitability, and (iii) macroscopic network synchronization constrained by the brain's structural connectome. By explicitly linking these multiscale mechanisms, we propose the framework as a theoretical perspective and operational scaffold for formulating testable hypotheses about state-dependent, closed-loop neuromodulation.

The results show that the multiscale dynamic mean-field (MDMF) model identifies steady-state regimes of neurotransmitter-related parameters that yield relatively high correspondence between simulated and empirical resting-state functional connectivity. Furthermore, synaptic pathology is simulated by altering structural connectivity, and the resulting functional connectivity reproduces network topological features observed in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Finally, the E-I ratio is quantified at both the neurotransmitter level and the neuronal firing-rate level.

However, existing brain network feature-extraction methods often rely on single-modality connectivity metrics, which may not fully capture the complex multidimensional reorganization of neural dynamics during the transition to fatigue. To address this methodological gap, this study proposes a Feature-Coupled Tensor Decomposition (FCTD) framework for multimodal brain network analysis. The framework constructs independent high-order tensors for three complementary connectivity metrics: signal covariance (representing amplitude coupling), phase-locking value (representing phase synchronization), and Liang-Kleeman information flow (representing directed information transfer). Using Tucker decomposition, FCTD learns spatial bases at the scalp-electrode level and employs a cross-mapping strategy to integrate latent inter-modality dependencies. The proposed framework was evaluated on two publicly available driver fatigue EEG datasets. Under a chronological block-wise 10-fold cross-validation protocol designed to reduce the risk of temporal leakage, the method achieved average accuracies of 99.42% and 93.62% on Dataset 1 and Dataset 2, respectively. Leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) cross-validation on Dataset 2 yielded an accuracy of 75.18%, indicating that cross-subject generalization remains challenging under substantial inter-subject variability.

Analysis using EEG has now become a safe and possible method for the identification of neural abnormalities in PD. Nevertheless, current models must struggle with several constraints: high false detection rates, poor generalizability across subjects, sensitivity to EEG noise pollution, and the inability to extract deep cortical representations, which have the capability to distinguish between healthy and Parkinson patterns. To alleviate these issues, the current paper proposes a novel CortiMoS-Net (Cortical Modeling with Stacked Autoencoder and MobileNet) capable of accurately detecting Parkinson's disease from EEG signals. CortiMoS-Net architecture combines deep stacked autoencoders with low-computation MobileNet convolution blocks such that low-complexity learning of complex cortical activity patterns is supplemented with computational scalability. To achieve further enhanced model convergence and optimization of learnable parameters, the present work also proposes an enhanced hybrid optimization technique named Snow Shepherd Stride Configuration Tuning (S3C-Tune). The proposed pipeline is initiated with raw EEG signal recording, preprocessing, and peak picking for the intent of artifact removal and detection of neurologically intriguing events. Model parameters are tuned by the S3C-Tune algorithm to realize maximal training accuracy. Such a pipeline hybrid enables extensive cortical modeling as well as efficient optimization and results in correct PD vs. healthy subject classification. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the suggested approach with better accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of 0.99 and minimum error rate and minimum loss of 0.01 and 0.05, respectively.

However, in EEG-fNIRS multimodal MI decoding, modality heterogeneity and differences in signal-to-noise ratio and convergence speed often cause joint training to bias toward the modality that is easier to learn, leading to modality dominance, degraded fused representations, and reduced generalization. To address this issue, we propose a dynamic re-initialization framework for EEG-fNIRS multimodal decoding, which achieves cross-modal balanced learning through a diagnosis-adjustment-re-initialization mechanism. The proposed method uses the separability difference of unimodal features between the training and validation sets as a diagnostic signal, and integrates network hierarchical priors with modality-specific gradient statistics to derive adjustment factors. Guided by these signals, the framework periodically performs soft re-initialization of the EEG and fNIRS encoder parameters during training, promoting re-learning of weaker modalities, suppressing single-modality dominance, and preserving the stability of converged representations. As a result, multimodal imbalance is alleviated and the discriminative capability of fused representations is enhanced.
