Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Bayesian Image-on-Scalar Regression (ISR) offers flexible, uncertainty-aware neuroimaging analysis.
  • Large-scale datasets (e.g., UK Biobank) present computational challenges for ISR, particularly with subject-specific brain masks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel Bayesian ISR model that efficiently scales to large datasets.
  • To accommodate subject-specific brain masks in neuroimaging analyses.
  • To improve computational efficiency and statistical power for neuroimaging studies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Bayesian ISR model using Gaussian process priors with salience area indicators.
  • Implemented a scalable posterior computation algorithm with stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics and memory mapping.
  • Achieved linear scaling with subsample size and constrained memory usage to batch size.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a 4- to 11-fold speed increase on UK Biobank task fMRI data (38,639 subjects).
    • Showcased an 8-18% enhancement in statistical power compared to traditional Gibbs sampling.
    • Identified a subregion of the amygdala with a ~58% decrease in emotion-related activation between ages 50-60.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel Bayesian ISR model provides an efficient and scalable solution for large-scale neuroimaging analysis.
    • The method successfully handles subject-specific brain masks and enhances statistical inference.
    • The findings highlight age-related changes in emotion processing within the amygdala.
