Multi-Hypergraph Learning-Based Brain Functional Connectivity Analysis in fMRI Data

Recently, a hypergraph constructed from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was utilized to explore brain functional connectivity networks (FCNs) for the classification of neurodegenerative diseases. Each edge of a hypergraph (called hyperedge) can connect any number of brain regions-of-interest (ROIs) instead of only two ROIs, and thus characterizes high-order relations among multiple ROIs that cannot be uncovered by a simple graph in...
