Construction of embedded fMRI resting state functional connectivity networks using manifold learning
We construct embedded functional connectivity networks (FCN) from benchmark
resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data acquired from
patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls based on linear and nonlinear
manifold learning algorithms, namely, Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Isometric
Feature Mapping (ISOMAP) and Diffusion Maps. Furthermore, based on key global
graph-theoretical properties of the embedded FCN, we compare their
classification potential using machine learning techniques. We also assess the
performance of two metrics that are widely used for the construction of FCN
from fMRI, namely the Euclidean distance and the lagged cross-correlation
metric. We show that the FCN constructed with Diffusion Maps and the lagged
cross-correlation metric outperform the other combinations
