Assessing the sensitivity of fMRI group maps.
Group maps created from individual functional maps provide useful summaries of patterns of brain activation. Different methods for combining information have been proposed in the statistical literature and have been recently applied to fMRI data. Since these group maps are statistics, it is natural to ask how robust they are, that is, are they sensitive to the effects of unusual subjects? "Unus...
متن کاملPatient Classification of fMRI Activation Maps
The analysis of brain activations using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an active area of neuropsychological research. Standard techniques for analysis have traditionally focused on finding the most significant areas of brain activation, and have only recently begun to explore the importance of their spatial characteristics. We compare fMRI contrast images and significance maps ...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for fMRI Activation Maps
Neuroimaging activation maps typically color voxels to indicate whether the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals measured among two or more experimental conditions differ significantly at that location. This data presentation, however, omits information critical for interpretation of experimental results. First, no information is represented about trends at voxels that do not pass the st...
متن کاملSensitivity to White Matter fMRI Activation Increases with Field Strength
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation in white matter is controversial. Given that many of the studies that report fMRI activation in white matter used high field MRI systems, we investigated the field strength dependence of sensitivity to white matter fMRI activation. In addition, we evaluated the temporal signal to noise ratio (tSNR) of the different tissue types as a functi...
متن کاملNoise suppression of FMRI time-series in wavelet domain
Because of poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the fMRI time series and confounding effects, the results of fMRI analysis are often unsatisfactory. Existence of significant noise and artifacts in fMRI time-series as well as their unknown structure, complicates the problem of activation detection in the time domain. This makes the fMRI noise suppression a challenging problem. Based on some assum...
