Synopsis

Keywords: Analysis/Processing, fMRI (resting state), Functional Connectivity, Graph Kernel, Brain connectivity, Signal Modeling, Signal Representations

Motivation: Various rs-fMRI studies highlight the need for accurate delineation of different brain functional networks (FNs) to carry out precise therapeutic interventions in the individuals.

Goal(s): To develop a novel zero-shot non-linear graph kernel-assisted approach for enhanced functional brain parcellation at individual and group levels.

Approach: Utilization of Wavelet, Fourier, and Hilbert transformations for feature extraction from BOLD signals, and a propagation attribute graph kernel to capture non-linear temporo-spatial connectivity, using k-means clustering.

Results: The kernel-based approach outperforms static FC matrix parcellations, achieving higher accuracy in network delineation in both individual and group level, as evidenced by Dice and Jaccard scores.

Impact: The study introduced graph kernel-based method for functional brain parcellation, which improved the accuracy of functional network delineation in rs-fMRI data, surpassing traditional static functional connectivity approaches in both individual and group level, as validated by Dice and Jaccard metrics.
