In this study, we combine a voxel selection method with temporal mesh model to decode the discriminative information distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. We first employ one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) feature selection to select the most informative voxels. Then, we form meshes around selected voxels with their spatial and functional neighbors by employing the Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (MM-TM). We estimate the arc weights of meshes, which represent the relationships among voxels within the selected neighborhood. In order to get rid of the redundant relationships, we prune the estimated mesh weights using ANOVA. By doing so, we obtain a sparse representation of discriminative information in the brain. Finally, we train k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers using the sparse mesh arc weights. We used fMRI recordings from a visual object recognition experiment. Our results show that employing the selected voxels in classification performs better than employing all voxels in the brain. Moreover, mesh arc weights formed around selected voxels outperform the intensity values of selected voxels. Finally, pruning the mesh arc weights leads to a slight increase in the classification performance.

A Sparse Temporal Mesh Model for Brain Decoding
Afrasiyabi, Arman; Onal, Itir; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-08-23)
One of the major drawbacks of brain decoding from the functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) is the very high dimension of feature space which consists of thousands of voxels in sequence of brain volumes, recorded during a cognitive stimulus. In this study, we propose a new architecture, called Sparse Temporal Mesh Model (STMM), which reduces the dimension of the feature space by combining the voxel selection methods with the mesh learning method. We, first, select the "most discriminative" voxels usin...
Modeling Voxel Connectivity for Brain Decoding
Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2015-06-12)
The massively dynamic nature of human brain cannot be represented by considering only a collection of voxel intensity values obtained from fMRI measurements. It has been observed that the degree of connectivity among voxels provide important information for modeling cognitive activities. Moreover, spatially close voxels act together to generate similar BOLD responses to the same stimuli. In this study, we propose a local mesh model, called Local Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (LMM-TM), to first estim...
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...
Representation of Cognitive Processes Using the Minimum Spanning Tree of Local Meshes
Firat, Orhan; Ozay, Mete; Onal, Itir; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-07-07)
A new graphical model called Cognitive Process Graph (CPG) is proposed, for classifying cognitive processes based on neural activation patterns which are acquired via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in brain. In the CPG, first local meshes are formed around each voxel. Second, the relationships between a voxel and its neighbors in a local mesh, which are estimated by using a linear regression model, are used to form the edges among the voxels (graph nodes) in the CPG. Then, a minimum spanning t...
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...
