The Interpretation of the Effective Connectivity Maps Obtained by Using Dynamic Bayesian Networks on EEG Data

2016-01-01
The main aim of this study was to compare and discuss the effective brain connectivity maps of dyslexic and control groups in terms of differences and similarities. The differences and sismilarities that may be found in the study, could provide information for the related future studies. There were total of 58 subjects which were 27 control and 31 dyslexics data in this study. All the data according to the groups were averaged with respect to time and group data were generated. Then, effective connectivity maps for both dyslexic and control groups were constructed using the Dynamic Bayesian Networks algorithms. The symmetric connectivities which we call strong connections between electrode pairs were extracted and mainly used for discussion. It was observed that there are differences in effective connectivity maps of both groups in terms of connections' density and directions. The results should also be checked by brain anatomy experts anatomically and by comparing with literature of medicine, their validity and usabilities could be tested.

A systematic study of probabilistic aggregation strategies in swarm robotic systems
Soysal, Onur; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
In this study, a systematic analysis of probabilistic aggregation strategies in swarm robotic systems is presented. A generic aggregation behavior is proposed as a combination of four basic behaviors: obstacle avoidance, approach, repel, and wait. The latter three basic behaviors are combined using a three-state finite state machine with two probabilistic transitions among them. Two different metrics were used to compare performance of strategies. Through systematic experiments, how the aggregation performa...
Encoding Multi-Resolution Brain Networks Using Unsupervised Deep Learning
Rahnama, Arash; Alchihabi, Abdullah; Gupta, Vijay; Antsaklis, Panos J.; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2017-10-25)
The main goal of this study is to extract a set of brain networks in multiple time-resolutions to analyze the connectivity patterns among the anatomic regions for a given cognitive task. We suggest a deep architecture which learns the natural groupings of the connectivity patterns of human brain in multiple time-resolutions. The suggested architecture is tested on task data set of Human Connectome Project (HCP) where we extract multi-resolution networks, each of which corresponds to a cognitive task. At the...
A Hierarchical representation and decoding of fMRI data by partitioning a brain network
Moğultay, Hazal; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2017)
In this study, we propose a hierarchical network representation of human brain extracted from fMRI data. This representation consists of two levels. In the first level, we form a network among the voxels, smallest building block of fMRI data. In the second level, we define a set of supervoxels by partitioning the first level network into a set of subgraphs, which are assu med to represent homogeneous brain regions with respect to a predefined criteria. For this purpose, we develop a novel brain parcellation...
The Contribution of Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategy Use to Students Science Achievement
Akyol, Gülsüm; Öztekin, Ceren; Sungur, Semra (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
This study examined the differences in the level of 7th-grade Turkish students' cognitive and metacognitive strategy use (rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, and metacognitive self-regulation) in science and investigated the contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to students' science achievement. The present study also explored the relationships between students' background characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, socioeconomic status) and their cognitive and metacogn...
Improvement of temporal resolution of fMRI data for brain decoding
Varol, Emel; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-2-10)
In this study, we aim to increase the accuracy of the mapping between the states of the brain and problem-solving phases namely planning and execution. To create a computational model to generate the mapping, an fMRI dataset obtained from subjects solving the Tower of London problem has been used. fMRI data is suitable for this problem as it provides regional and time-varying changes in brain metabolism. However, developing the model using fMRI data is not trivial. Generally, fMRI data has a very large feat...
