Representing Brain-Behavior Associations by Retaining High-Motion Minoritized Youth.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population neuroscience datasets provide an opportunity for researchers to estimate reproducible effect sizes for brain-behavior associations because of their large sample sizes. However, these datasets undergo strict quality control to mitigate sources of noise, such as head motion. This practice often excludes a disproportionate number of minoritized individuals.

Methods

We used motion-ordering and motion-ordering+resampling (bagging) to test whether these methods preserve functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 5733). For the 2 methods, brain-behavior associations were computed as the partial Spearman's rank correlations (R_s) between functional connectivity and cognitive perfor
