NuroMind

NuroMind is under the ADAM project by UMass Chan at Microbiology & Microbiome Dynamics AI HUB, Haran Research Group, and Bucci Lab. NuroMind is a comprehensive Python library for neuroscience research with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and microbiome-brain interactions. Developed at UMass Chan Medical School's Microbiology & Microbiome Dynamics AI HUB.

Note: This library is still under development, and we are actively conducting extensive testing on this package. The code may not behave as expected at the moment.

Description

Nuromind is a structured Python package tailored for analyzing neurological data, specifically targeting Alzheimer's disease. The project integrates imaging preprocessing, microbiome analysis, specialized Alzheimer's models, and large language model (LLM) functionalities.

Key Directories

• src/nuromind/: Core modules and functionalities.

  • core.py: Main functionalities and utilities.
  • imaging/: Preprocessing tools for imaging data.
  • models/: Specialized models for Alzheimer's disease research.
  • microbiome/: Analysis tools for microbiome datasets.
  • llm/: Integration with large language models.

• tests/: Unit and integration tests to ensure the reliability of the package.

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install nuromind

# With all optional dependencies
pip install nuromind[dev,viz,bio,microbiome]

Quick Start

import nuromind as nm

# Check available dependencies
deps = nm.check_dependencies()
print(f"Available components: {deps}")

# Initialize configuration
config = nm.NuroMindConfig(device="cuda")

# Load and analyze data (placeholder functionality)
from nuromind.imaging import load_mri, preprocess
from nuromind.models import AlzheimerClassifier

# Load brain scan
scan = load_mri("path/to/scan.nii")
processed = preprocess(scan)

# Analyze with model
classifier = AlzheimerClassifier()
results = classifier.predict(processed)
print(f"AD probability: {results['ad_probability']}")

Features (In Development)

• Alzheimer's Disease Research: Biomarker analysis, neuroimaging pipelines
• Microbiome Integration: Gut-brain axis analysis, dysbiosis detection
• LLM Research Assistant: Automated literature reviews, hypothesis generation
• Medical Imaging: MRI/PET preprocessing, brain segmentation
• Multi-Omics: Integrated analysis of microbiome, imaging, and clinical data

Development

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/melhzy/nuromind.git
cd nuromind

# Install in development mode
pip install -e .[dev]

# Run tests
