A Mixed Model Approach for Estimating Regional Functional Connectivity from Voxel-level BOLD Signals
基于体素级BOLD信号的区域功能连接混合模型估计
Resting-state brain functional connectivity quantifies the synchrony between activity patterns of different brain regions. In functional magnetic resonance imaging, each region comprises a set of spatially contiguous voxels at which blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals are acquired. The ubiquitous Correlation of Averages (CA) estimator, and other similar metrics, are computed from spatially aggregated signals within each region, and remain the quantifications of…
