• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data contain complex spatiotemporal dynamics, thus researchers have developed approaches that reduce the dimensionality of the signal while extracting relevant and interpretable dynamics. Models of fMRI data that can perform whole-brain discovery of dynamical latent factors are understudied. The benefits of approaches such as linear independent component analysis models have been widely appreciated, however, nonlinear extensions of these models present challenges in terms of identification. Deep learning methods provide a way forward, but 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 generalizes weight sharing to non-Euclidean neuroimaging data by first performing spectral clustering based on the structural and functional similarity between voxels. The spectral clusters and their assignments can then be used as patches in an adapted multi-layer perceptron (MLP)-mixer model to share parameters among input points. To encourage temporally independent latent factors, we use an additional total correlation term in the loss. 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. Then, to assess the latent factors we find further, we compare the spatial location of each latent factor to the motor homunculus. Finally, we show that our approach captures task effects better than the current gold standard of source signal separation, independent component analysis (ICA).

  We propose an unsupervised latent variable model which extracts temporally evolving shared and independent latents for distinct, simultaneously recorded experimental modalities. We validate our model on simulated multi-modal data consisting of Poisson spike counts and MNIST images that scale and rotate smoothly over time. We show that the multi-modal GP-VAE is able to not only identify the shared and independent latent structure across modalities accurately, but provides good reconstructions of both images and neural rates on held-out trials.

  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.

  We develop an artificial intelligence framework which combines a neural network trained to mimic simulated data from a model Hamiltonian with automatic differentiation to recover unknown parameters from experimental data.

The RPM provides a powerful framework to discover meaningful latent structure underlying observational data, a function critical to both animal and artificial intelligence.

  Adaptive multiView ICA (AVICA) is a noisy ICA model where each view is a linear mixture of shared independent sources with additive noise on the sources. On synthetic data, AVICA yields better sources estimates than other group ICA methods thanks to its explicit MMSE estimator. On real magnetoencephalograpy (MEG) data, we provide evidence that the decomposition is less sensitive to sampling noise and that the noise variance estimates are biologically plausible.
