Event Abstract

Possibilities and limits of connectivity analyses on neuroimaging data

  • 1 Cuban Neuroscience Center, Cuba

Recovering temporal information about neural events with fMRI is limited by heavy filtering and sub-sampling and can only be achieved by incorporating biophysical assumptions into parametric and nonparametric state space models. These are optimally expressed in continuous time and space with explicit consideration of signal degradation during acquisition. It will be shown that many problems such as aliasing and the appearance of spurious connectives can be explicitly controlled for. Possibilities and limits will be shown for the different levels of the spatial and temporal scales of neuroimaging time series.
