Revealing representational content with pattern-information fMRI--an introductory guide.
Conventional statistical analysis methods for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data are very successful at detecting brain regions that are activated as a whole during specific mental activities. The overall activation of a region is usually taken to indicate involvement of the region in the task. However, such activation analysis does not consider the multivoxel patterns of activit...
متن کاملAn fMRI Study of Risky Decision Making: The Role of Mental Preparation and Conflict
Introduction: The current study aimed to elucidate the role of preparatory cognitive control in decision making and its neural correlates using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). To this effect, by employing a series of new cognitive tasks, we assessed the role of preparatory cognitive control in monetary (risky) decision making. Methods: The participants had to decide between a...
متن کاملMulti-Connection Pattern Analysis: Decoding the representational content of neural communication
The lack of multivariate methods for decoding the representational content of interregional neural communication has left it difficult to know what information is represented in distributed brain circuit interactions. Here we present Multi-Connection Pattern Analysis (MCPA), which works by learning mappings between the activity patterns of the populations as a factor of the information being pr...
متن کاملTitle: Multi-Connection Pattern Analysis: Decoding the Representational Content of Neural Communication
What information is represented in the interactions between neural populations is unknown due to the lack of multivariate methods for decoding the representational content of neural communication. Here we present Multi-Connection Pattern Analysis (MCPA), which probes the involvement of distributed computational processing and probe the representational structure of neural interactions. MCPA lea...
متن کاملBrain Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Scan (SPECT) and Functional MRI in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Cognitive Dysfunction: A Systematic Review
Objective(s): Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the manifestations that could present prior to the emergence of any other neuropsychiatric involvements in SLE. Cognitive dysfunction is a subtle condition occurring with ahigh frequency. However, there is no data on the correlation of cognitive...
