Abstract

BACKGROUND: Online dictionary learning (ODL) has been applied to extract brain networks from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in recent year. Moreover, the supervised dictionary learning (SDL) that fixed the task stimulus curves as predefined atoms was proposed to improve ODL for functional networks separation. However, SDL cannot estimate the real time courses underlying the brain networks and cannot be applied to the inter-network connectivity analysis. This study aimed at investigating how to add the temporal prior information to ODL to extract the accurate task-related brain networks and the corresponding time courses.
