Behavioral Studies Using Large-Scale Brain Networks - Methods and Validations.

ABSTRACT: Mapping human behaviors to brain activity has become a key focus in modern cognitive neuroscience. As methods such as functional MRI (fMRI) advance cognitive scientists show an increasing interest in investigating neural activity in terms of functional connectivity and brain networks, rather than activation in a single brain region. Due to the noisy nature of neural activity, determining how behaviors are associated with specific neural signals is not well-established. Previous research has suggested graph theory techniques as a solution. Graph theory provides an opportunity to interpret human behaviors in terms of the topological organization of brain network architecture. Graph theory-based approaches, however, only scratch the surface of what neural connections relate to human behavior.
