The Role of Occipitotemporal Network in Rapid Reading - An fMRI-based Study Background Reading is the most effective cognitive means for humans to acquire new knowledge. Although most native English-speaking adults read at an average speed of about 200 to 400 words per minute (w/min), many people hope to increase their reading speed to acquire new ...
Time Synchronization of Motor-Related Cortical Potentials and Parieto-Frontocentral Connectivity in Bilateral Tasks of Stroke Patients Background In stroke rehabilitation research, functional connectivity (FC), motor-related cortical potentials (MRCP), and gait activities are common metrics related to rehabilitation outcomes. Although these have be...
Functional Connectivity Across the Brain and Temporally Enhanced Non-neuronal Low-Frequency Oscillation (SLFO) Blood Flow Signal Based on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scans In the field of neuroscience, a core question is how the brain’s connectivity reconfigures over time to support adaptive functional changes. These dynamically changing ...
Research Background and Objectives With the continuous development of neuroscience, identifying indirectly observed processes related to functional networks has become an important research direction. Researchers attempt to estimate the activity of these functional networks through electrophysiological signals such as EEG and MEG. However, this pro...
The title of this paper is “Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Multiple Functional Connectivity-based Graph Convolutional Network,” published in the journal “Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing,” volume 62, pages 2133-2144, in 2024. This paper proposes a multiple functional connectivity-based graph convolutional network (mfc-...
Research Report on Changes in Functional Connectivity in Post-Stroke Epilepsy (PSE) Patients Based on Source-Level EEG and Graph Theory Research Background Epilepsy has various etiologies, including idiopathic, congenital, head trauma, central nervous system infections, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. Among t...
Changes in Functional Brain Networks in Coronary Heart Disease Patients: Independent Component Analysis and Graph Theory Analysis This article, published in the 229th volume of “Brain Structure and Function” in 2024, explores the changes in functional connectivity (FC) and brain network topology in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The st...
The Impact of Amplitude and Phase-based MRI Time Series on Functional Connectivity Analysis Introduction Over the past decade, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive imaging technique that uses blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast to measure brain activity and study brain function (Kwong, 1996). By analyz...
Pediatric brainstem glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, and surgical resection is the primary treatment method. However, posterior fossa surgery may lead to a complication known as “Pediatric Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome (CMS).” CMS is primarily characterized by temporary mutism, motor disorders, and emotional abnormali...
