Construction of functional brain connectivity networks
Magalhães, Ricardo José Silva; Marques, Paulo César Gonçalves; Veloso, Telma Alves; Soares, José Miguel Montenegro; Sousa, Nuno; Alves, VictorGraph theory and the study of complex networks have, over the last decade, received increasing attention from the neuroscience research community. It allows for the description of the brain as a full network of connections, a connectome, as well as for the quantitative characterization of its topological properties. Still, there is a clear lack of standard procedures for building these networks. In this work we...
Exploration and application of machine learning algorithms to functional connec...
Veloso, Telma AlvesDissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Biomédica (área de especialização em Informática Médica); Methods for the study of the functional connectivity in the brain have seen several developments over the last years, however not yet in a fully realized manner. Machine learning and complex network analysis are two promising techniques that together can help the process of better exploring functional conne...
