Background:

Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis (KCCA) is used for brain activation detection.
Current KCCA methods are restricted to linear kernels.
The performance of nonlinear kernels in KCCA is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To extend KCCA to arbitrary nonlinear kernels.
To evaluate the performance of nonlinear kernels in KCCA for fMRI data.
To investigate the impact of nonlinear kernels on brain activation detection accuracy.

Main Methods:

Development of an inverse mapping algorithm for general nonlinear kernels.
Application of the enhanced KCCA method to simulated fMRI data.
Validation using two task-based fMRI datasets.

Main Results:

Nonlinear kernels significantly outperform linear kernels in KCCA.
The proposed method effectively reduces activation in undesired brain regions.
Improved detection accuracy was observed, especially when neural responses deviate from standard models.

Conclusions:

Nonlinear kernels enhance KCCA's capability for brain activation detection.
The proposed inverse mapping algorithm supports arbitrary nonlinear kernels.
Nonlinear KCCA offers a more robust and accurate approach for fMRI analysis.
