Frontiers in human neuroscience·2025

We developed a new method using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) connectivity graphs to decode brain states, achieving 86.32% accuracy in classifying cognitive states.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Machine Learning
Medical Imaging

Background:

Decoding brain states is crucial for understanding cognitive processes.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides insights into brain activity and connectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel approach for decoding brain states using fMRI connectivity graphs.
To identify discriminant networks and key brain regions involved in different cognitive states.

Main Methods:

Constructing fMRI connectivity graphs for distinct brain states.
Employing an iterative support vector classifier with a shortest-path kernel and backward edge elimination.
Utilizing a one-versus-one approach for multi-class classification of five cognitive states.

Main Results:

Achieved a multi-class classification accuracy of 86.32% for distinguishing between five cognitive brain states.
Identified the posterior cingulate cortex as a hub separating fixation from task states.
Highlighted the superior parietal lobe's role in differentiating tasks and the right retrosplenial-superior parietal lobe connectivity in discrimination.

Conclusions:

The proposed method effectively decodes cognitive brain states from fMRI data.
Specific brain regions and their connectivity patterns are critical for discriminating between resting and task states, as well as among different tasks.
