The confound of head position in within-session connectome fingerprinting in infants.

ABSTRACT: Individuals differ in their functional connectome, which can be demonstrated using a "fingerprinting" analysis in which the connectome from an individual in one dataset is used to identify the same person from an independent dataset. Recently, the origin of these fingerprints has been studied by examining if they are present in infants. The results have varied considerably, with identification rates from 10 to 90%. When fingerprinting has been performed by splitting a single imaging session into two split-sessions (within session), identification rates were higher than when two full-sessions (between sessions) were compared. This study examined whether a methodological difference could account for this variation. It was hypothesized that the infant's exact head position in the head coil ma
