- Abstract summary: We develop a framework for cortical surface-based deep learning.
First, we adapted a perturbation-based approach for use with surface data.
We show that our explainability framework is not only able to identify important features and their spatial location but that it is also reliable and valid.

- Abstract: The emergence of explainability methods has enabled a better comprehension of
how deep neural networks operate through concepts that are easily understood
and implemented by the end user. While most explainability methods have been
designed for traditional deep learning, some have been further developed for
geometric deep learning, in which data are predominantly represented as graphs.
These representations are regularly derived from medical imaging data,
particularly in the field of neuroimaging, in which graphs are used to
represent brain structural and functional wiring patterns (brain connectomes)
and cortical surface models are used to represent the anatomical structure of
the brain. Although explainability techniques have been developed for
identifying important vertices (brain areas) and features for graph
classification, these methods are still lacking for more complex tasks, such as
surface-based modality transfer (or vertex-wise regression). Here, we address
the need for surface-based explainability approaches by developing a framework
for cortical surface-based deep learning, providing a transparent system for
modality transfer tasks. First, we adapted a perturbation-based approach for
use with surface data. Then, we applied our perturbation-based method to
investigate the key features and vertices used by a geometric deep learning
model developed to predict brain function from anatomy directly on a cortical
surface model. We show that our explainability framework is not only able to
identify important features and their spatial location but that it is also
reliable and valid.
