• Title: Across-subject ensemble-learning alleviates the need for large samples for fMRI decoding
• Authors: Himanshu Aggarwal, Liza Al-Shikhley, Bertrand Thirion,
• Abstract summary: Within-subject decoding avoids between-subject correspondence problems but requires large sample sizes to make accurate predictions. Here, we investigate an ensemble approach to decoding that combines the classifiers trained on data from other subjects to decode cognitive states in a new subject. We find that it outperforms the conventional decoding approach by up to 20% in accuracy, especially for datasets with limited per-subject data.

• Abstract: Decoding cognitive states from functional magnetic resonance imaging is central to understanding the functional organization of the brain. Within-subject decoding avoids between-subject correspondence problems but requires large sample sizes to make accurate predictions; obtaining such large sample sizes is both challenging and expensive. Here, we investigate an ensemble approach to decoding that combines the classifiers trained on data from other subjects to decode cognitive states in a new subject. We compare it with the conventional decoding approach on five different datasets and cognitive tasks. We find that it outperforms the conventional approach by up to 20% in accuracy, especially for datasets with limited per-subject data. The ensemble approach is particularly advantageous when the classifier is trained in voxel space. Furthermore, a Multi-layer Perceptron turns out to be a good default choice as an ensemble method. These results show that the pre-training strategy reduces the need for large per-subject data.

  We propose a cross-subject data splitting criterion for brain-to-text decoding on various types of cognitive dataset (fMRI, EEG) We undertake a comprehensive analysis on existing cross-subject data splitting strategies and prove that all these methods suffer from data leakage. The proposed cross-subject splitting method successfully addresses the data leakage problem and we re-evaluate some SOTA brain-to-text decoding models as baselines for further research.

  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.
