- Abstract
- This paper explores Bayesian applications in the study of dynamic interconnections between brain regions, measured through blood oxygenation levels in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, an active area of research in Neuroscience. The analysis follows recent modeling approaches for the dynamic functional connectivity of the brain, leveraging dynamic graphical representation within a Hidden Markov Model framework. Beginning with an extensive literature review and essential concepts for modeling brain connectivity, the paper then introduces a Bayesian graphical model for functional connectivity. Finally, it presents an extension of the model to address effective connectivity.
