Integrating Multiple-Study Multiple-Subject fMRI Datasets Using Canonical Correlation Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to integrate multiple fMRI datasets in the context of predictive fMRI data analysis. The approach utilizes canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to find common dimensions among the different datasets, and it does not require that the multiple fMRI datasets be spatially normalized. We apply the approach to the task of predicting brain activations for unseen concrete-noun words using multiple-subject datasets from two related fMRI studies. The proposed approach yields better prediction accuracies than those of an approach where each subject’s data is analyzed separately.

Brain Activity Map Extraction from Multiple Sclerosis Patients Using Resting-State fMRI Data Based on Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuations and Regional Homogeneity Analysis
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...
متن کاملGroup Study of Simulated Driving fMRI Data by Multiset Canonical Correlation Analysis
In this work, we apply a novel statistical method, multiset canonical correlation analysis (M-CCA), to study a group of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets acquired during simulated driving task. The M-CCA method jointly decomposes fMRI datasets from different subjects/sessions into brain activation maps and their associated time courses, such that the correlation in each grou...
متن کاملPredictive fMRI Analysis for Multiple Subjects and Multiple Studies (Thesis)
In the context of predictive fMRI data analysis, the state of the art is to perform the analysis separately for each particular subject in a specific study. Given the nature of the fMRI data where there are many more features than instances, this kind of analysis might produce suboptimal predictive models since the data might not be sufficient to obtain accurate models. Based on findings in the...
متن کاملA group model for stable multi-subject ICA on fMRI datasets
Spatial Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is an increasingly used data-driven method to analyze functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. To date, it has been used to extract sets of mutually correlated brain regions without prior information on the time course of these regions. Some of these sets of regions, interpreted as functional networks, have recently been used to provide mar...
متن کاملMulti-Subject fMRI Generalization with Independent Component Representation
Generalizability in a multi-subject fMRI study is investigated. The analysis is based on principal and independent component representations. Subsequent supervised learning and classification is carried out by canonical variates analysis and clustering methods. The generalization error is estimated by cross-validation, forming the so-called learning curves. The fMRI case story is a motor-contro...
