Seed-based connectivity analysis (SCA) is widely used to study functional connectivity. However, it suffers from variability inherent in investigator-specific and subject-specific seed selection dependencies. The current Automated Subject-Specific Seed Optimization (ASSSO) method uses an iterative brain atlas based approach identifies the optimal seed locations to maximize the detected RSN connectivity in individual subjects. This seed-selection will maximize the sensitivity for detecting RSN dynamics at short and long time scales across the entire brain in real-time. This methodology is expected to have important applications in presurgical mapping.
