Background:

Spontaneous fluctuations in blood oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals exhibit complex temporal and frequency characteristics.
Understanding these BOLD signal dynamics is crucial for accurately decoding brain activity and states.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel Spectrum Contrast Mapping (SCM) method for voxel-wise brain activity decoding.
To assess the reliability and application of SCM in characterizing brain states and identifying potential neurological pathologies.

Main Methods:

Developed Spectrum Contrast Mapping (SCM) utilizing Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) on voxel time courses.
Divided spectral energy into low- and high-frequency bands to calculate an energy contrast ratio.
Validated SCM using designed experiments, resting-state (eyes-closed, eyes-open) paradigms, and test-retest reliability assessments.

Main Results:

SCM successfully characterized the energy contrast in task-related brain regions.
The method demonstrated efficacy in decoding brain activity during resting states.
High test-retest reliability (coefficients > 0.9) confirmed the method's consistency.
SCM identified aberrant energy contrast regions, suggesting potential for detecting brain disease pathology, such as in Parkinson's disease.

Conclusions:

Spectrum Contrast Mapping (SCM) provides a reliable method for decoding brain activity at individual and group levels.
The energy contrast feature identified by SCM serves as a valuable biomarker for characterizing brain states.
SCM holds significant potential for broad applications in neuroscience, neuroimaging, and the study of brain diseases.
