Using independent component analysis to extract a cross-modality and individual-specific brain baseline pattern by Wei Liu, Xuemin Zhang

“…Using spatial independent component analysis on a large sample of fMRI data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP), we found an individual-specific component which can be consistently extracted from either resting-state or different task states and is reliable over months. Compared to functional connectome fingerprinting, it is much more stable across different fMRI modalities. …”
