A fusion analytic framework for investigating functional brain connectivity differences using resting-state fMRI by Yeseul Jeon, Jeong-Jae Kim, SuMin Yu, Junggu Choi, Sanghoon Han, Sanghoon Han

“…The framework involves three steps: first, constructing ROI-based Functional Connectivity Networks (FCNs) to manage resting-state fMRI data; second, employing a Self-Attention Deep Learning Model (Self-Attn) for binary classification to generate attention distributions encoding group-level differences; and third, utilizing a Latent Space Item-Response Model (LSIRM) to extract group-representative ROI features, visualized on group summary FCNs.ResultsWe applied our framework to analyze four types of cognitive impairments, demonstrating their effectiveness in identifying significant ROIs that contribute to the differences between the two disease groups. …”
