Predicting cortical-thalamic functional connectivity using functional near-infrared spectroscopy and graph convolutional networks
Abstract Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures cortical hemodynamic changes, yet it cannot collect this information from subcortical structures, such as the thalamus, which is involved in several key functional networks.To address this drawback, we propose a machine-learning-based approach to predict cortical-thalamic functional co
