Modeling of BrainMap data
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply machine learning techniques in the form of Gaussian mixture models to functional brain activation data. The dataset was extracted through the WWW interface to the BrainMap (Research Imaging Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) neuroimaging database. Modeling of the joint probability structure of activation foci and other database entries (e.g. behavioral domain, modality) enables us to summarize the accumulated body of activation coordinates in the form of a 3D density and allows us to explore issues like the effect of the experimental modality on the resulting brainmap

متن کاملModeling of activation data in the BrainMap database: detection of outliers.
We describe a system for meta-analytical modeling of activation foci from functional neuroimaging studies. Our main vehicle is a set of density models in Talairach space capturing the distribution of activation foci in sets of experiments labeled by lobar anatomy. One important use of such density models is identification of novelty, i.e., low probability database events. We rank the novelty of...
متن کاملBrainMap taxonomy of experimental design: description and evaluation.
Coordinate-based, voxel-wise meta-analysis is an exciting recent addition to the human functional brain mapping literature. In view of the critical importance of selection criteria for any valid meta-analysis, a taxonomy of experimental design should be an important tool for aiding in the design of rigorous meta-analyses. The coding scheme of experimental designs developed for and implemented w...
متن کاملICA model order selection of task co-activation networks
Independent component analysis (ICA) has become a widely used method for extracting functional networks in the brain during rest and task. Historically, preferred ICA dimensionality has widely varied within the neuroimaging community, but typically varies between 20 and 100 components. This can be problematic when comparing results across multiple studies because of the impact ICA dimensionalit...

Background: Task-based fMRI studies of adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have revealed various ADHD-related dysfunctional brain regions, with heterogeneous findings across studies. Here, we used novel meta-analytic data-driven approaches to characterize the function and connectivity profile of ADHD-related dysfunctional regions consistently detected across studies. Methods: ...
