A low dimensional embedding of brain dynamics enhances diagnostic accuracy and behavioral prediction in stroke.

ABSTRACT: Large-scale brain networks reveal structural connections as well as functional synchronization between distinct regions of the brain. The latter, referred to as functional connectivity (FC), can be derived from neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). FC studies have shown that brain networks are severely disrupted by stroke. However, since FC data are usually large and high-dimensional, extracting clinically useful information from this vast amount of data is still a great challenge, and our understanding of the functional consequences of stroke remains limited. Here, we propose a dimensionality reduction approach to simplify the analysis of this complex neural data. By using autoencoders, we find a low-dimensional representation encoding the fMRI data
