Human brain is supposed to process information in multiple frequency bands. Therefore, we can extract diverse information from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data by processing it at multiple resolutions. We propose a framework, called Hierarchical Multi-resolution Mesh Networks (HMMNs), which establishes a set of brain networks at multiple resolutions of fMRI signal to represent the underlying cognitive process. Our framework, first, decomposes the fMRI signal into various frequency subbands using wavelet transform. Then, a brain network is formed at each subband by ensembling a set of local meshes. Arc weights of each local mesh are estimated by ridge regression. Finally, adjacency matrices of mesh networks obtained at different subbands are used to train classifiers in an ensemble learning architecture, called fuzzy stacked generalization (FSG). Our decoding performances on Human Connectome Project task-fMRI dataset reflect that HMMNs can successfully discriminate tasks with 99% accuracy, across 808 subjects. Diversity of information embedded in mesh networks of multiple subbands enables the ensemble of classifiers to collaborate with each other for brain decoding. The suggested HMMNs decode the cognitive tasks better than a single classifier applied to any subband. Also mesh networks have a better representation power compared to pairwise correlations or average voxel time series. Moreover, fusion of diverse information using FSG outperforms fusion with majority voting. We conclude that, fMRI data, recorded during a cognitive task, provide diverse information in multi-resolution mesh networks. Our framework fuses this complementary information and boosts the brain decoding performances obtained at individual subbands.

Gender classification using mesh networks on multiresolution multitask fMRI data
Ertugrul, Itir Onal; Ozay, Mete; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-01)
Brain connectivity networks have been shown to represent gender differences under a number of cognitive tasks. Recently, it has been conjectured that fMRI signals decomposed into different resolutions embed different types of cognitive information. In this paper, we combine multiresolution analysis and connectivity networks to study gender differences under a variety of cognitive tasks, and propose a machine learning framework to discriminate individuals according to their gender. For this purpose, we estim...
Neuroprotective Efficacy of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-gamma Ligand in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion
SAYAN ÖZAÇMAK, HALE; SAYAN, Hale; BARUT, FİGEN; Jakubowska-Dogru, Ewa (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2011-08-01)
Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion can cause learning and memory impairment and neuronal damage resembling the effects observed in vascular dementia. PPAR-gamma agonists were shown to modulate inflammatory response and neuronal death following cerebral ischemia. The present study was designed to evaluate possible neuroprotective effects of rosiglitazone, a PPAR-gamma agonist, in rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Cerebral hypoperfusion was induced by permanent bilateral occlusion of the common carotid...
Forward problem solution of electromagnetic source imaging using a new BEM formulation with high-order elements
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 1999-09-01)
Representations of the active cell populations on the cortical surface via electric and magnetic measurements are known as electromagnetic source images (EMSIs) of the human brain. Numerical solution of the potential and magnetic fields for a given electrical source distribution in the human brain is an essential part of electromagnetic source imaging. In this study, the performance of the boundary element method (BEM) is explored with different surface element types. A new BEM formulation is derived that m...
Hybrid statistical and machine learning modeling of cognitive neuroscience data
Çakar, Serenay; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2023-01-01)
The nested data structure is prevalent for cognitive measure experiments due to repeatedly taken observations from different brain locations within subjects. The analysis methods used for this data type should consider the dependency structure among the repeated measurements. However, the dependency assumption is mainly ignored in the cognitive neuroscience data analysis literature. We consider both statistical, and machine learning methods extended to repeated data analysis and compare distinct algorithms ...
Sensitivity of EEG and MEG measurements to tissue conductivity
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2004-03-07)
Monitoring the electrical activity inside the human brain using electrical and magnetic field measurements requires a mathematical head model. Using this model the potential distribution in the head and magnetic fields outside the head are computed for a given source distribution. This is called the forward problem of the electro-magnetic source imaging. Accurate representation of the source distribution requires a realistic geometry and an accurate conductivity model. Deviation from the actual head is one ...
