Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience
Neuroimaging

Background:

Ongoing brain activity forms a baseline for cognitive processes, but its individual nature is not well understood.
Variability in brain activity patterns during tasks suggests unique individual baselines.
Understanding individual brain baselines is crucial for interpreting cognitive function and neuroimaging data.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and characterize an individual-specific component of ongoing brain activity.
To assess the stability and reliability of this component across different conditions and time.

Main Methods:

Utilized spatial independent component analysis (ICA) on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP).
Analyzed data from both resting-state and various task-based fMRI scans.
Evaluated the component's stability across different fMRI modalities, time, and in relation to scan parameters.

Main Results:

An individual-specific brain activity component was consistently extracted across resting and task states.
This component demonstrated high reliability over months and was more stable than functional connectome fingerprinting across fMRI modalities.
Component stability correlated with high explained variance and was minimally affected by noise, scan duration, or interval.

Conclusions:

The identified component represents a stable, individual-specific baseline pattern of ongoing brain activity.
This baseline is robust across different cognitive states and neuroimaging conditions.
Findings have implications for understanding individual differences in brain function and improving the reliability of neuroimaging studies.
