Dear all,

It is my pleasure to share with you a very recent methods and data driven modelling paper from our lab on how Resting State Dynamics Meets Anatomical Structure:
Temporal Multiple Kernel Learning (tMKL) Model to explore SC-dFC-FC  tripartite relationship published in Neuroimage.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811918318597?via%3Dihub#sec2

The proposed model uses spectral graph theory techniques to partitions aspects of the whole-brain dynamics essentially into two parts: (i) characterizing temporal
dynamics through identification of latent transient states, and (ii) linking them to the underlying structural geometry. These two aspects are captured using a novel blend of unique methods. The proposed solution does not make strong assumptions about the underlying data and is generally applicable to resting or task data for learning subject-specific state transitions and for successfully characterizing SC-dFC-FC relationship through a unifying framework.

MATLAB code for the proposed method can be downloaded from:

Any comments/questions/suggestions on the method/code are of course welcome.

Regards,

Dipanjan
