Background:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data present challenges due to noise, sparsity, and high dimensionality.
Feature selection is critical in multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) for reliable results.
Classification accuracy alone may not capture the robustness of feature selection methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the stability of various feature selection methods in fMRI data.
To evaluate a stability-based feature selection framework.
To compare algorithm performance based on both accuracy and stability.

Main Methods:

Adapted Top-k feature selection (mutual information, correlation), recursive feature elimination with support vector machine (SVM), and L1/L2-norm regularizations.
Implemented a bootstrapped stability selection framework.
Evaluated methods on two benchmark datasets (StarPlus and Haxby).

Main Results:

Regularization-based methods demonstrated higher stability on the StarPlus dataset.
These regularization methods underperformed compared to others on the Haxby dataset.
Stability and accuracy varied across methods and datasets.

Conclusions:

The stability of feature selection methods is dataset-dependent.
Stability-based selection offers valuable insights beyond classification accuracy in fMRI MVPA.
Careful consideration of feature selection method choice is essential for robust neuroimaging analysis.
