DBGDGM models dynamic brain graphs for better understanding brain function.
Brain networks have received considerable attention given the critical significance for understanding human brain organization, for investigating neurological disorders and for clinical diagnostic applications. Structural brain network (e.g. DTI) and functional brain network (e.g. fMRI) are the primary networks of inte…
Functional connectivity refers to the temporal statistical relationship between spatially distinct brain regions and is usually inferred from the time series coherence/correlation in brain activity between regions of interest. In human functional brain networks, the network structure is often inferred from functional m…

Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in functional neuroimaging techniques have improved in brain disorders, dysfunction studies via mapping the topology of the brain connections, i.e. connectopic mapping. Since, there are the slight differences between healthy and unhealthy brain regions and functions, investigation…

STCA discovers dynamic functional brain networks using spatial-temporal convolution and attention.
Understanding the functional architecture of the brain in terms of networks is becoming increasingly common. In most fMRI applications functional networks are assumed to be stationary, resulting in a single network estimated for the entire time course. However recent results suggest that the connectivity between brain …
Schizophrenia, a mental disorder that is characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to distinguish one's own thoughts and ideas from reality, has been associated with structural abnormalities in the architecture of functional brain networks. Using various methods from network analysis, we examine the effect …

fMRI is a unique non-invasive approach for understanding the functional organization of the human brain, and task-based fMRI promotes identification of functionally relevant brain regions associated with a given task. Here, we use fMRI (using the Poffenberger Paradigm) data collected in mono- and dizygotic twin pairs t…
New method for analyzing brain dynamics using HMMs and graph models.
Community structure in networks is observed in many different domains, and unsupervised community detection has received a lot of attention in the literature. Increasingly the focus of network analysis is shifting towards using network information in some other prediction or inference task rather than just analyzing th…

A new method clusters subjects based on brain networks without vectorizing fMRI data.
Neuroscientists have enjoyed much success in understanding brain functions by constructing brain connectivity networks using data collected under highly controlled experimental settings. However, these experimental settings bear little resemblance to our real-life experience in day-to-day interactions with the surround…
Fine-grained atlases improve fMRI analysis of brain activity.
Neural networks learn to mimic brain neurons with two-input activation functions, improving performance and robustness.
In many human brain network studies, we do not have sufficient number (n) of images relative to the number (p) of voxels due to the prohibitively expensive cost of scanning enough subjects. Thus, brain network models usually suffer the small-n large-p problem. Such a problem is often remedied by sparse network models, …
Brain networks in fMRI are typically identified using spatial independent component analysis (ICA), yet mathematical constraints such as sparse coding and positivity both provide alternate biologically-plausible frameworks for generating brain networks. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) would suppress negative BO…

The paper characterizes brain states and transitions using functional MRI data.
Spontaneous brain activity, as observed in functional neuroimaging, has been shown to display reproducible structure that expresses brain architecture and carries markers of brain pathologies. An important view of modern neuroscience is that such large-scale structure of coherent activity reflects modularity properties…
Brain networks has attracted the interests of many neuroscientists. From functional MRI (fMRI) data, statistical tools have been developed to recover brain networks. However, the dimensionality of whole-brain fMRI, usually in hundreds of thousands, challenges the applicability of these methods. We develop a hierarchica…
