Evolving Brain Models for Better Prediction
![Biology-informed optimization of parameters consistently yields solutions-evidenced by [latex]R^2[/latex] values exceeding chance levels as determined through 10,000 permutations-that robustly predict behavioral traits across distinct resting-state networks, including fluid reasoning ability, inwardly directed problems, and outwardly directed problems, as quantified by associated <i>p</i>- and <i>q</i>-values.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.11398v1/x3.png)
