• Title: Separating Stimulus-Induced and Background Components of Dynamic Functional Connectivity in Naturalistic fMRI
• Authors: Chee-Ming Ting, Jeremy I. Skipper, Steven L. Small, Hernando Ombao
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel, data-driven approach to isolate stimulus-driven dynamic changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) from the background noise. To recover the shared low-rank subspace, we introduce a fusion-type penalty on the differences between the rows of the low-rank matrix. We develop an efficient algorithm via a linearized alternating direction method of multipliers to solve the fused-PCP.

• Abstract: We consider the challenges in extracting stimulus-related neural dynamics from other intrinsic processes and noise in naturalistic functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Most studies rely on inter-subject correlations (ISC) of low-level regional activity and neglect varying responses in individuals. We propose a novel, data-driven approach based on low-rank plus sparse (L+S) decomposition to isolate stimulus-driven dynamic changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) from the background noise, by exploiting shared network structure among subjects receiving the same naturalistic stimuli. The time-resolved multi-subject FC matrices are modeled as a sum of a low-rank component of correlated FC patterns across subjects, and a sparse component of subject-specific, idiosyncratic background activities. To recover the shared low-rank subspace, we introduce a fused version of principal component pursuit (PCP) by adding a fusion-type penalty on the differences between the rows of the low-rank matrix. The method improves the detection of stimulus-induced group-level homogeneity in the FC profile while capturing inter-subject variability. We develop an efficient algorithm via a linearized alternating direction method of multipliers to solve the fused-PCP. Simulations show accurate recovery by the fused-PCP even when a large fraction of FC edges are severely corrupted. When applied to natural fMRI data, our method reveals FC changes that were time-locked to auditory processing during movie watching, with dynamic engagement of sensorimotor systems for speech-in-noise. It also provides a better mapping to auditory content in the movie than ISC.

We propose an event-based generalization of forward-forward learning, which we call contrastive-signal-dependent plasticity (CSDP) Our experimental results on several pattern datasets demonstrate that the CSDP process works well for training a dynamic recurrent spiking network capable of both classification and reconstruction.

  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.
