New Bayesian framework quantifies fMRI connectivity uncertainty

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new Bayesian framework to quantify uncertainty in fMRI functional connectivity data. This framework models BOLD dynamics using coupled Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and employs Sequential Neural Posterior Estimation to account for scanner noise and true neural variability. The findings offer guidance for optimizing fMRI scan duration and spatial resolution, demonstrating that higher field strength scanners like 7T can achieve precision comparable to 3T scanners in significantly less time.

IMPACT Provides methods to optimize neuroimaging acquisition, potentially improving the reliability and reducing costs of clinical biomarkers.

    Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification for fMRI Functional Connectivity via Simulation-Based Inference

    arXiv:2609.30445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing fMRI scan duration and spatial resolution is critical for experimental design, yet traditional correlation-based approaches cannot quantify uncertainty or disentangle scanner measurement noise from true neural variability…
