Statistical Learning for Resting-State fMRI: Successes and Challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the absence of external stimuli, fluctuations in cerebral activity can be used to reveal intrinsic structures. Well-conditioned probabilistic models of this so-called resting-state activity are needed to support neuroscientific hypotheses. Exploring two specific descriptions of resting-state fMRI, namely spatial analysis and connectivity graphs, we discuss the progress brought by statistical learning techniques, but also the neuroscientific picture that they paint, and possible modeling pitfalls.

Introduction: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which generally affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve can result in the patient's dim vision or even blindness, while the spinal cord damage may lead to sensory and motor paralysis and the weakness of the lower limbs in the patient. Magnetic Reson...

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic neurological diseases of young adults. MS often reported during ages 20-62. MS affects the various anatomical parts of the central nervous system. Up to 65% of multiple sclerosis patients MS patients suffer from various problems, such as fatigue, depression, pain and sleep disorders. Unlike MRI, that only sh...

We tested whether the resting state functional connectivity of the motor system changed during 4 weeks of motor skill learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Ten healthy volunteers learned to produce a sequential finger movement by daily practice of the task over a 4 week period. Changes in the resting state motor network were examined before training (Week 0), two weeks af...

In this project, four unsupervised feature reduction algorithms for clustering problem were investigated and experimented upon two sets of data – handwritten digits data set and the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) resting state data set. Ratio of sum of squares (RSS), leverage score (LEV), and Laplacian score (LAP) were used to rank the influences of the features in the clustering....
