Fast and precise independent component analysis for high field fMRI time series tailored using prior information on spatiotemporal structure.

چکیده
Independent component analysis (ICA) has been shown as a promising tool for the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series. Each of these studies, however, used a general-purpose algorithm for performing ICA and the computational efficiency and accuracy of elicited neuronal activations have not been discussed in much detail. We have previously proposed a direct search method for improving computational efficiency. The method, which is based on independent component-cross correlation-sequential epoch (ICS) analysis, utilizes a form of the fixed-point ICA algorithm and considerably reduces the time required for extracting desired components. At the same time, it is shown that the accuracy of detecting physiologically meaningful components is much improved by tailoring the contrast function used in the algorithm. In this study, further improvement was made to this direct search method by integrating an optimal contrast function. Functional resolution of activation maps could be controlled with a suitable selection of the contrast function derived from prior knowledge of the spatial patterns of physiologically desired components. A simple skewness-weighted contrast function was verified to extract sufficiently precise activation maps from the fMRI time series acquired using a 3.0 Tesla MRI system.

Introduction: The accuracy of analyzing Functional MRI (fMRI) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. A common solution in for analyzing fMRI data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. Some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (GLM) have previously been evalua...

In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data.
