Cross-time functional connectivity analysis (2109.00518v1)

Abstract: A large body of literature has shown the substantial inter-regional functional connectivity in the mammal brain. One important property remaining un-studied is the cross-time interareal connection. This paper serves to provide a tool to characterize the cross-time functional connectivity. The method is extended from the temporal embedding based brain temporal coherence analysis. Both synthetic data and in-vivo data were used to evaluate the various properties of the cross-time functional connectivity matrix, which is also called the cross-regional temporal coherence matrix.
