Global topology of brain-wide co-fluctuations links task states, personality, and behavioral symptom dimensions

Chunyin Siu, Saad Pirzada, Cameron Glick…·Manish Saggar

The paper uses topological analysis of fMRI dynamics to show that pairwise co-fluctuations better capture task states and link to personality and symptom dimensions than other interaction representations.
