Brain structure and function jointly characterize the organizational mechanisms of brain networks. In this work, we introduce a structure-function coupling hypergraph neural network to model high-order associations between functional connectivity and structural connectivity for brain disease diagnosis. The framework constructs functional and structural hypergraph branches, performs hypergraph convolution for high-order representation learning, and uses cross-modal reconstruction to enhance the coupling between the two modalities.
