The comorbidity and cognition in multiple sclerosis (CCOMS) neuroimaging protocol: Study rationale, MRI acquisition, and minimal image processing pipelines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Comorbidity and Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis (CCOMS) study represents a coordinated effort by a team of clinicians, neuropsychologists, and neuroimaging experts to investigate the neural basis of cognitive changes and their association with comorbidities among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objectives are to determine the relationships among psychiatric (e.g., depression or anxiety) and vascular (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, etc.) comorbidities, cognitive performance, and MRI measures of brain structure and function, including changes over time. Because neuroimaging forms the basis for several investigations of specific neural correlates that will be reported in future publications, the goal of the current manuscript is to briefly review the CCOMS study design and baseline characteristics for participants enrolled in the three study cohorts (MS, psychiatric control, and healthy control), and provide a detailed description of the MRI hardware, neuroimaging acquisition parameters, and image processing pipelines for the volumetric, microstructural, functional, and perfusion MRI data.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
