• Abstract summary: Cross-subject comparison is challenging due to the spontaneous nature of resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) signals. Here we describe an approach that measures pairwise distances between the synchronized rs-fMRI signals of pairs of subjects. We also present a method for fMRI data comparison that leverages this generated pairwise feature to establish a radial basis function kernel matrix.

• Abstract: Due to the spontaneous nature of resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) signals, cross-subject comparison and therefore, group studies of rs-fMRI are challenging. Most existing group comparison methods use features extracted from the fMRI time series, such as connectivity features, independent component analysis (ICA), and functional connectivity density (FCD) methods. However, in group studies, especially in the case of spectrum disorders, distances to a single atlas or a representative subject do not fully reflect the differences between subjects that may lie on a multi-dimensional spectrum. Moreover, there may not exist an individual subject or even an average atlas in such cases that is representative of all subjects. Here we describe an approach that measures pairwise distances between the synchronized rs-fMRI signals of pairs of subjects instead of to a single reference point. We also present a method for fMRI data comparison that leverages this generated pairwise feature to establish a radial basis function kernel matrix. This kernel matrix is used in turn to perform kernel regression of rs-fMRI to a clinical variable such as a cognitive or neurophysiological performance score of interest. This method opens a new pointwise analysis paradigm for fMRI data. We demonstrate the application of this method by performing a pointwise analysis on the cortical surface using rs-fMRI data to identify cortical regions associated with variability in ADHD index. While pointwise analysis methods are common in anatomical studies such as cortical thickness analysis and voxel- and tensor-based morphometry and its variants, such a method is lacking for rs-fMRI and could improve the utility of rs-fMRI for group studies. The method presented in this paper is aimed at filling this gap.

  We introduce a novel semantic alignment method of multi-subject fMRI signals using so-called MindFormer. This model is specifically designed to generate fMRI-conditioned feature vectors that can be used for conditioning Stable Diffusion model for fMRI- to-image generation or large language model (LLM) for fMRI-to-text generation. Our experimental results demonstrate that MindFormer generates semantically consistent images and text across different subjects.

  Resting-state MRI functional (rs-fMRI) is increasingly employed in multi-site research to aid neurological disorder analysis. Many methods have been proposed to reduce fMRI heterogeneity between source and target domains. But acquiring source data is challenging due to concerns and/or data storage burdens in multi-site studies. We design a source-free collaborative domain adaptation framework for fMRI analysis, where only a pretrained source model and unlabeled target data are accessible.

  Models of fMRI data that can perform whole-brain discovery of latent factors are understudied. New methods for efficient spatial weight-sharing are critical to deal with the high dimensionality of the data and the presence of noise. Our approach is evaluated on data with multiple motor sub-tasks to assess whether the model captures disentangled latent factors that correspond to each sub-task.

This requires the textita priori choice of type and cut-off frequencies for the bandpass filter needed to perform the analysis. Here we explore alternative approaches based on the use of various mode decomposition (MD) techniques that circumvent this issue.
