Review of Methods for Functional Brain Integration Detection Using fMRI
基于fMRI的脑功能整合数据分析方法综述

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has played an important role in the information processing of human brain and neural-related activities. Computational methodologies developed on functional connectivity and effective connectivity, based on the conception of brain integration. Functional connectivity describes the temporal correlations between spatially remote neurophysiological events, and the effective connectivity which characterizes the influence one neural system exerts over another. So the methods can be classified into two general categories. For each type of methods, principles, main contributors, their advantages and drawbacks, and applications are discussed in this paper.
