In this study, a new method is proposed for analyzing and classifying images obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) from multiple subjects. Considering the multi level structure of the brain and success of deep learning architectures on extracting hierarchical representations from raw data, these architectures are used in this thesis. Initially, the S500 data set collected in the scope of Human Connectome Project (HCP) is used to train formed deep neural networks in an unsupervised fashion. Then, pre-trained networks are utilized for two different multi-subject brain decoding tasks. Goal of these tasks is discriminating the cognitive state of a subject, using the fMRI data of other subjects. In the first task, brain decoding is performed by fine-tuning the pre-trained neural networks with the label information included in the S500 data set. In the second task, pre-trained networks are used to obtain hierarchical representation for object recognition data set to transfer the information between fMRI experiments. Obtained results show us that deep neural networks are more successful than traditional machine learning algorithms on multi-subject brain decoding tasks and experiment-independent representations can be obtained with deep neural networks better than factor models used in the literature. Besides, regions activated for different cognitive states of S500 data set are visualized by implementing a saliency analysis over trained deep neural networks.

Stable controller design for T-S fuzzy systems based on Lie algebras Banks, SP; Gurkan, E; Erkmen, İsmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-01) In this paper, we study the stability of fuzzy control systems of Takagi-Sugeno-(T-S) type based on the classical theory of Lie algebras. T-S fuzzy systems are used to model nonlinear systems as a set of rules with consequents of the type x(t) = A(l)x (t) + B(l)u (t). We conduct the stability analysis of such T-S fuzzy models using the Lie algebra LA generated by the A(l) matrices of these subsystems for each rule in the rule base. We first develop our approach of stability analysis for a commuting algebra ...
An Information theoretic representation of brain connectivity for cognitive state classification using functional magnetic resonance imaging Önal, Itır; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...

An Information Theoretic Approach to Classify Cognitive States Using fMRI Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Firat, Orhan; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-11-13) In this study, an information theoretic approach is proposed to model brain connectivity during a cognitive processing task, measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, a local mesh of varying size is formed around each voxel. The arc weights of each mesh are estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the squared error. Then, the optimal mesh size for each sample, that represents the information distribution in the brain, is estimated by minimizing various inform...
A Hopfield neural network with multi-compartmental activation Akhmet, Marat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-05-01) The Hopfield network is a form of recurrent artificial neural network. To satisfy demands of artificial neural networks and brain activity, the networks are needed to be modified in different ways. Accordingly, it is the first time that, in our paper, a Hopfield neural network with piecewise constant argument of generalized type and constant delay is considered. To insert both types of the arguments, a multi-compartmental activation function is utilized. For the analysis of the problem, we have applied the ...
