Detection of functional connectivity using temporal correlations in MR images.
Functional connectivity among brain regions has been investigated via an analysis of correlations between regional signal fluctuations recorded in magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained in a steady state. In comparison with studies of functional connectivity that utilize task manipulations, the analysis of correlations in steady state data is less susceptible to confounds arising when function...
متن کاملHighly adaptive tests for group differences in brain functional connectivity
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and other technologies have been offering evidence and insights showing that altered brain functional networks are associated with neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease. Exploring brain networks of clinical populations compared to those of controls would be a key inquiry to reveal underlying neurological processes relate...
متن کاملThe significance of negative correlations in brain connectivity.
Understanding the modularity of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-derived brain networks or "connectomes" can inform the study of brain function organization. However, fMRI connectomes additionally involve negative edges, which may not be optimally accounted for by existing approaches to modularity that variably threshold, binarize, or arbitrarily weight these connections. Consequent...
متن کاملBorder Correlations of Partial
Partial words are finite sequences over a finite alphabet A that may contain a number of “do not know” symbols denoted by ◊’s. Setting = A ∪ {◊}, denotes the set of all partial words over A. In this paper, we investigate the border correlation function β: → {a, b} that specifies which conjugates (cyclic shifts) of a given partial word w of length n are bordered, that is, β (w) = c0c1 ... cn−1 w...
متن کاملCorrelations of Partial Words
Partial words are strings over a finite alphabet that may contain a number of “do not know” symbols. In this paper, we introduce the notions of binary and ternary correlations, which are binary and ternary vectors indicating the periods and weak periods of partial words. Extending a result of Guibas and Odlyzko, we characterize precisely which of these vectors represent the (weak) period sets o...
