The generalized linear models (GLM) have been widely used in practice to model non-Gaussian response variables. When the number of explanatory features is relatively large, scientific researchers are of interest to perform controlled…
The connectome, a map of the structural and/or functional connections in the brain, provides a complex representation of the neurobiological phenotypes on which it supervenes. This information-rich data modality has the potential to…
Connectivity studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly pooling data acquired at multiple sites. While this may allow investigators to speed up recruitment or increase sample size, multisite studies…
The assessment of brain fingerprints has emerged in the recent years as an important tool to study individual differences and to infer quality of neuroimaging datasets. Studies so far have mainly focused on connectivity fingerprints between…
For large-scale testing with graph-associated data, we present an empirical Bayes mixture technique to score local false discovery rates. Compared to empirical Bayes procedures that ignore the graph, the proposed method gains power in…
In brain connectomics, the cortical surface is parcellated into different regions of interest (ROIs) prior to statistical analysis. The brain connectome for each individual can then be represented as a graph, with the nodes corresponding to…
For neurological disorders and diseases, functional and anatomical connectomes of the human brain can be used to better inform targeted interventions and treatment strategies. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive…
General linear models (GLM) are often constructed and used in statistical inference at the voxel level in brain imaging. In this paper, we explore the basics of random fields and the multiple comparisons on the random fields, which are…
Functional connectivity quantifies the statistical dependencies between the activity of brain regions, measured using neuroimaging data such as functional MRI BOLD time series. The network representation of functional connectivity, called a…
Recent research in neuroimaging has focused on assessing associations between genetic variants that are measured on a genomewide scale and brain imaging phenotypes. A large number of works in the area apply massively univariate analyses on…
Human brains exhibit highly organized multiscale neurophysiological dynamics. Understanding those dynamic changes and the neuronal networks involved is critical for understanding how the brain functions in health and disease. Functional…
The characterisation of the brain as a "connectome", in which the connections are represented by correlational values across timeseries and as summary measures derived from graph theory analyses, has been very popular in the last years.…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to extract {\em functional networks} connecting correlated human brain sites. Analysis of the resulting networks in different tasks shows that: (a) the distribution of functional…
In neuroimaging, a large number of correlated tests are routinely performed to detect active voxels in single-subject experiments or to detect regions that differ between individuals belonging to different groups. In order to bound the…
Functional brain connectivity, as revealed through distant correlations in the signals measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), is a promising source of biomarkers of brain pathologies. However, establishing and using…
