The acquisition and modelling of diffusion MRI (dMRI) data offer many opportunities to explore the organization of the brain. A variety of methods has been proposed to this end, but their generalizability to different diffusion encodings and stronger gradients remains unknown. In the MEMENTO challenge, we asked participants to predict dMRI signals collected with single, double and double oscillating diffusion encodings in combination with a variety of weighting parameters. We received eighty-three submissions ranging from signal representations to multicompartment models and deep learning-based predictions, which offer a unique perspective to investigate the status quo of the field.
