We provide a proof of concept that surface-based CNNs can predict anatomical and physiological data from fMRI signals. Specifically, we trained CNNs to predict local cortical thickness, cortical orientation to the B₀-field and MR angiography data to demonstrate that this information exists in the resting-state timeseries and can be extracted and possibly used for variance and bias reduction. Our results suggest that deep learning is able to identify non-linear relationships between the fMRI data and these anatomical and physiological biases.
