Background:

Functional connectivity analysis in fMRI is crucial for understanding brain networks.
Traditional methods like correlation analysis and independent component analysis (ICA) have limitations in capturing complex signal features.
Principal component analysis (PCA) offers a way to preserve signal energy and information.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and validate a novel fMRI connectivity analysis approach combining PCA and regression.
To enhance the accuracy and reliability of functional brain network mapping.
To compare the proposed method against conventional techniques.

Main Methods:

Utilizing PCA to identify clusters in fMRI time series, preserving signal energy.
Applying regression analysis to extracted principal components for functional connectivity investigation.
Employing t-tests to identify significant connectivity patterns above a defined threshold.

Main Results:

The proposed PCA-regression method demonstrated validity and reliability on simulated and human fMRI data.
Achieved competitive performance with greater accuracy and true positive rate (TPR) compared to conventional methods.
Successfully identified 'default mode' and motor networks in resting-state fMRI data.

Conclusions:

The combined PCA and regression approach offers an improved method for fMRI functional connectivity analysis.
This technique shows potential for enhancing existing regression analysis applications in human brain studies.
The method provides a more accurate and robust way to map functional brain networks.
