Functional connectivity mapping using the ferromagnetic Potts spin model.
An unsupervised stochastic clustering method based on the ferromagnetic Potts spin model is introduced as a powerful tool to determine functionally connected regions. The method provides an intuitively simple approach to clustering and makes no assumptions of the number of clusters in the data or their underlying distribution. The performance of the method and its dependence on the intrinsic pa...
متن کاملHigher moments of spin-spin correlation functions for the ferromagnetic random bond Potts model
– Using conformal field theory techniques, we compute the disorder-averaged pth power of the spin-spin correlation function (〈σ(0)σ(R)〉, p ∈ Z) for the ferromagnetic random bond Potts model. We thus generalize the calculations of Dotsenko, Dotsenko and Picco, where the case p = 2 was considered, and of Ludwig, where first-order computations where made for general p. Perturbative calculations ar...
متن کاملMixing of the Glauber dynamics for the ferromagnetic Potts model
We present several results on the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for sampling from the Gibbs distribution in the ferromagnetic Potts model. At a fixed temperature and interaction strength, we study the interplay between the maximum degree (∆) of the underlying graph and the number of colours or spins (q) in determining whether the dynamics mixes rapidly or not. We find a lower bound L on t...
متن کاملFunctional Connectivity Mapping in the Rat Brain using Spin-echo EPI
Introduction: Low frequency fluctuations (LFFs) in T2*-weighted MR images have been used to map functional connectivity in both humans and rats [1, 2, 3]. Most FC studies utilize gradient echo EPI (GE-EPI) because of its high sensitivity to BOLD signal fluctuations. However, fMRI studies have shown that the BOLD signal in GE-EPI images contains a strong contribution from large veins. At high fi...
متن کاملMapping functional connectivity
An objective and reliable assessment of wildlife movement is important in theoretical and applied ecology. The identification and mapping of landscape elements that may enhance functional connectivity is usually a subjective process based on visual interpretations of species movement patterns. New methods based on mathematical morphology provide a generic, flexible, and automated approach for t...
