Summary

Estimating 3D brain network topology from surface recordings can be misleading. Sparse sampling, common in magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG), may distort network structures, especially with limited data.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Network Science
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Estimating brain network topology from surface recordings presents challenges due to the impossibility of recording from all neurons.
  • Non-invasive techniques like magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) measure average activity at sparse, non-invasive recording sites.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the effects of spatial sampling on structural network measures (centrality, assortativity) when estimating 3D brain network topologies.
  • To assess the reliability of surface recordings in accurately representing the underlying 3D brain network structure.

Main Methods:

  • A simplified 3D brain connectivity model with short- and long-range connections was used.
  • The model was sampled to mimic M/EEG recordings, with nodes and connections weighted by proximity to recording sites.
  • Multivariate classifiers and complex network models were employed to analyze topological deviations.

Main Results:

  • Sparse sampling, particularly with small sample sizes, can cause significant deviations in network topology compared to the original 3D network.
  • The sampled network structures may not accurately reflect the generating 3D network.

Conclusions:

  • Surface recordings, especially with limited spatial sampling, may yield inaccurate representations of 3D brain network topology.
  • Caution is advised when interpreting network structures derived from sparse surface recordings in experimental neuroscience studies.
