Notes

Distinct analytic approaches Girn2023

  • ICA
  • seed-based FC
  • Interregional FC
    • hard parcellations with binary network assignments (typically from Yeo2011)
  • Leading eigenvector dynamics analysis LEiDA
    ICA, seed-based FC, and LEiDA soft parcellations (generate weighted network assignments)
  • ICA often uses dual regression with group-level network maps derived from Smith2009
  • seed-based FC and LEiDA do not rely on group-level network templates

Brain exhibits significant transient states that are obscured by session-level averaging Lurie2018

Differences in statistical assumptions and conception of network definition renders comparisons of results across techniques nontrivial Girn2023

Use of a priori templates & assignments from subjects during sober states may limit network estimation in altered states Girn2023

Network approaches to neuroimaging analysis don’t often acknowledge individual differences we have an expectation that regions are basically the same across people Girn2023 Eickhoff2018

Univariate & bivariate network approaches don’t account for multivariate dependencies
