# Neuroharmony

**Neuroharmony** is a harmonization approach based on **image quality metrics (IQMs)** rather than explicit site labels.

Because it relies on scanner-related image characteristics instead of site identifiers, it can generalize to **previously unseen scanners or sites**, partially addressing the closed-set assumption of ComBat.
