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...
Neural correlates of purchasing behavior in the prefrontal cortex an optical brain imaging study
Çakır, Murat Perit; Çakar, Tuna (null; 2015-07-23)
Existing neuroimaging studies in decision making predominantly employ the fMRI method. Despite its superior spatial resolution, fMRI is an expensive and impractical neuroimaging technology for purchasing behavior studies in the field. This study aims to explore the role of prefrontal cortex during purchasing behavior by utilizing functional near-infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy; a low-cost, non-invasive and portable optical brain imaging methodology. The findings suggest that fNIRS can be effectively used for d...
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...
An Emprical examination for collaborative nature of business process modeling
Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2016)
In this study, factors that contribute to interaction quality of collaborative group members in a computer-supported collaborative business process modeling context were investigated with qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, interaction quality factors were identified based on a review of related theoretical frameworks and qualitative analysis of log files from a dual eye-tracking experiment. A rating scheme was then developed to assess the quality of group interactions. A research model, that r...
New dimension reduction technique for brain decoding
Afrasiyabi, Arman; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015)
A new architecture for dimension reduction, analyzing and decoding the discriminative information, distributed in function Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. This architecture called Sparse Temporal Mesh Model (STMM) which consists of three phases with a visualization tool. In phase A, a univariate voxel selection method, based on the assumption that voxels are independent, is used to select the informative voxels among the whole brain voxels. For this purpose, one of feature selection met...
