• Title: Sequential Transfer Learning to Decode Heard and Imagined Timbre from fMRI Data
• Authors: Sean Paulsen, Michael Casey
• Abstract summary: We present a sequential transfer learning framework for transformers on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. In the first phase, we pre-train our stacked-encoder transformer architecture on Next Thought Prediction. In the second phase, we fine-tune the models and train additional fresh models on the supervised task of predicting whether or not two sequences of fMRI data were recorded while listening to the same musical timbre.

• Abstract: We present a sequential transfer learning framework for transformers on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data and demonstrate its significant benefits for decoding musical timbre. In the first of two phases, we pre-train our stacked-encoder transformer architecture on Next Thought Prediction, a self-supervised task of predicting whether or not one sequence of fMRI data follows another. This phase imparts a general understanding of the temporal and spatial dynamics of neural activity, and can be applied to any fMRI dataset. In the second phase, we fine-tune the pre-trained models and train additional fresh models on the supervised task of predicting whether or not two sequences of fMRI data were recorded while listening to the same musical timbre. The fine-tuned models achieve significantly higher accuracy with shorter training times than the fresh models, demonstrating the efficacy of our framework for facilitating transfer learning on fMRI data. Additionally, our fine-tuning task achieves a level of classification granularity beyond standard methods. This work contributes to the growing literature on transformer architectures for sequential transfer learning on fMRI data, and provides evidence that our framework is an improvement over current methods for decoding timbre.

  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that encompasses a wide variety of symptoms and degrees of impairment. We have developed a transformer-based self-supervised framework that directly analyzes time-series fMRI data without computing functional connectivity. We show that randomly masking entire ROIs gives better model performance than randomly masking time points in the pre-training step.

  We propose a machine-learning approach to model long-term out-of-sample dynamics of brain activity from task-dependent fMRI data. We use Diffusion maps (DMs) to discover a set of variables that parametrize the low-dimensional manifold on which the emergent high-dimensional fMRI time series evolve. We construct reduced-order-models (ROMs) on the embedded manifold via two techniques: Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs) and the Koopman operator.
