The structural human connectome (i.e.\ the network of fiber connections in the brain) can be analyzed at ever finer spatial resolution thanks to advances in neuroimaging. Here we analyze several large data sets for the human brain network…
Brain networks are typically represented by adjacency matrices, where each node corresponds to a brain region. In traditional brain network analysis, nodes are assumed to be matched across individuals, but the methods used for node matching…
The human brain is a complex system, and understanding its mechanisms has been a long-standing challenge in neuroscience. The study of the functional connectome, which maps the functional connections between different brain regions, has…
In studying structural inter-connections in the human brain, it is common to first estimate fiber bundles connecting different regions of the brain relying on diffusion MRI. These fiber bundles act as highways for neural activity and…
The human connectome at the level of fiber tracts between brain regions has been shown to differ in patients with brain disorders compared to healthy control groups. Nonetheless, there is a potentially large number of different network…
Large-scale white matter pathways crisscrossing the cortex create a complex pattern of connectivity that underlies human cognitive function. Generative mechanisms for this architecture have been difficult to identify in part because little…

Recent developments in network neuroscience have highlighted the importance of developing techniques for analyzing and modeling brain networks. A particularly powerful approach for studying complex neural systems is to formulate generative…
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…
There has been huge interest in studying human brain connectomes inferred from different imaging modalities and exploring their relationship with human traits, such as cognition. Brain connectomes are usually represented as networks, with…
This paper considers the problem of brain disease classification based on connectome data. A connectome is a network representation of a human brain. The typical connectome classification problem is very challenging because of the small…
