Large-scale correlation screening under dependence for brain functional connectivity network inference

Résumé

Data produced by resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging are widely used to infer brain functional connectivity networks. Such networks correlate neural signals to connect brain regions, which consist in groups of dependent voxels. Previous work has focused on aggregating data across voxels within predefined regions. However, the presence of within-region correlations has noticeable impacts on inter-regional correlation detection, and thus edge identification. To alleviate them, we propose to leverage techniques from the large-scale correlation screening literature, and derive simple and practical characterizations of the mean number of correlation discoveries that flexibly incorporate intra-regional dependence structures. A connectivity network inference framework is then presented. First, inter-regional correlation distributions are estimated. Then, correlation thresholds that can be tailored to one's application are constructed for each edge. Finally, the proposed framework is implemented on synthetic and real-world datasets. This novel approach for handling arbitrary intra-regional correlation is shown to limit false positives while improving true positive rates.
