## Step-by-Step Instructions

### MG2G 实现流程

1. **MEG 网络构建**
   ```python
   import numpy as np
   from mne.connectivity import spectral_connectivity
   
   def build_meg_network(meg_data, freq_band='alpha'):
       """从 MEG 数据构建功能连接网络"""
       # 频带功率连接
       conn = spectral_connectivity(
           meg_data, method='pli', 
           fmin=8, fmax=12  # alpha band
       )
       return conn.get_data('dense')
   ```

2. **图高斯嵌入**
   ```python
   import torch
   import torch.nn as nn
   
   class GraphGaussianEmbedding(nn.Module):
       def __init__(self, n_regions, latent_dim=32):
           super().__init__()
           self.encoder = nn.Sequential(
               nn.Linear(n_regions, 128),
               nn.ReLU(),
               nn.Linear(128, latent_dim * 2)  # mean + log_var
           )
           
       def forward(self, adj_matrix):
           # 编码为高斯分布参数
           h = self.encoder(adj_matrix)
           mean, log_var = h.chunk(2, dim=-1)
           return mean, log_var
       
       def reparameterize(self, mean, log_var):
           std = torch.exp(0.5 * log_var)
           eps = torch.randn_like(std)
           return mean + eps * std
   ```

3. **多图集成**
   ```python
   class MG2G(nn.Module):
       def __init__(self, n_regions, latent_dim=32, n_views=5):
           super().__init__()
           self.encoders = nn.ModuleList([
               GraphGaussianEmbedding(n_regions, latent_dim)
               for _ in range(n_views)
           ])
           
       def forward(self, graph_views):
           """多个图视图集成嵌入"""
           embeddings = []
           for i, encoder in enumerate(self.encoders):
               mean, log_var = encoder(graph_views[i])
               z = encoder.reparameterize(mean, log_var)
               embeddings.append(z)
           return torch.cat(embeddings, dim=-1)
   ```

4. **MCI 转化预测**
   ```python
   from sklearn.svm import SVC
   from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
   
   def predict_mci_conversion(embeddings, labels):
       """预测 MCI 患者是否转化为 AD"""
       classifier = SVC(kernel='rbf', probability=True)
       classifier.fit(embeddings, labels)
       return classifier
   ```

## Example Usage

```python
# 完整流程示例
import numpy as np

# 1. 加载 MEG 数据
meg_data = load_meg_subjects()  # shape: (n_subjects, n_channels, n_times)

# 2. 构建脑网络
networks = [build_meg_network(data) for data in meg_data]

# 3. 创建多视图（不同频带）
views = ['delta', 'theta', 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma']
multi_view_networks = create_multi_view(meg_data, views)

# 4. 训练 MG2G
model = MG2G(n_regions=68, latent_dim=32, n_views=5)
embeddings = model(multi_view_networks)

# 5. 预测
classifier = predict_mci_conversion(embeddings, mci_labels)
```
