Nonlocal operator learning for fMRI encoding and decoding tasks
The paper discusses a novel approach to fMRI data analysis using nonlocal operator learning. It emphasizes the importance of spatiotemporal context in encoding and decoding tasks. The findings suggest that larger temporal windows enhance performance and representation learning in fMRI dynamics.
- ▪Functional MRI data presents challenges due to its high-dimensional spatiotemporal structure.
- ▪The study implements a latent neural integral operator framework for fMRI encoding and decoding tasks.
- ▪Results indicate that larger temporal windows generally improve classification and representation learning.
