Recent neuroimaging studies have shown that functional connectomes are unique to individuals, i.e., two distinct fMRIs taken over different sessions of the same subject are more similar in terms of their connectomes than those from two…
The connectomes of different human brains are pairwise distinct: we cannot talk about an abstract "graph of the brain". Two typical connectomes, however, have quite a few common graph edges that may describe the same connections between the…

Our understanding of the structure of the brain and its relationships with human traits is largely determined by how we represent the structural connectome. Standard practice divides the brain into regions of interest (ROIs) and represents…
Integrating structural and functional connectomes remains challenging because their relationship is non-linear and organized over nested modular hierarchies. We propose a hierarchical multiscale structure-function coupling framework for…
The anatomical structure of the brain can be observed via non-invasive techniques such as diffusion imaging. However, these are imperfect because they miss connections that are actually known to exist, especially long range…

Functional connectivity estimates are highly sensitive to analysis choices and can be dominated by noise when the number of sampled time points is small relative to network dimensionality. This issue is particularly acute in fMRI, where…
