Dyscalculia Dyslexia Difficulty in learning arithmetic that cannot be explained by mental retardation, inappropriate schooling, or poor social environment Core conceptual deficit dealing with numbers Very common : 3-6% of school-age children Heterogeneous Selective inability to build a visual representation of a word, used in subsequent language processing, in the absence of general visual impairment or speech disorders Affects 5-10% of the population Spelling, phonological processing, word retrieval Disorder of the visual word form system Multiple varieties Occipital, temporal, frontal, cerebellum
Experimental protocols • Event-related designs • single stimuli/“events” at any time point • Periodic or spread across frequencies • Require rapidly acquired data(small TR) • Rapid events (less than ~20s apart) give rise to temporal summation of BOLD response • Summation is close to linear, but non-linearities are evident for small ISIs. Stimulus function (s(t))
Mental Arithmetic • Involves basic manipulation of number and quantities • Magnitude based system – bilateral IPS • Verbal based system – left AG • Attentional system – ps Parietal Lobule • Other systems – SMA, primary visual cortex, liPFC, insula, etc

Multi-voxel pattern analysis • Traditional analyses focus has focused on relationship between task and individual brain voxels (or regions) • MVPA uses patterns of observed activation across sets of voxels to decode represented information • Relies on machine learning / pattern classification algorithms • Claim: more sensitive detection of cognitive states (Mind Reading) • Does not employ spatial smoothing • Typically conducted within individual subjects Inter-voxel differences contain information! http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/nikolaus.kriegeskorte/infonotacti.html
Functional / Effective Connectivity • Standard analysis of fMRI data conforms to a functional segregation approach to brain function • i.e. brain regions are active for a stimulus type • Assumes the inputs have access to all brain regions • PertinentQuestion: How do active brain regions interact with one another? [ functional integration ] • Effective Connectivity = the functional strength of a specific anatomical connection during a particular cognitive task; i.e. the influence that one region has on another. ( Inferred ) • Functional Connectivity = the temporal correlation between signal from two brain regions during a cognitive task ( Measured ) • [ But these are exceptionally fuzzy terms ]
Functional Distance ? Is Zt1 < Zt2 ,or Zt2 < Zt3 ,or Sort Zt1, Zt2, Zt3 Zt1 Zt2 Zt3
State-Space Model Janoos et al., MICCAI 2010
Functional Distance Zt – activation patterns f - transportation
Critique • No neurophysiologic model • Point estimates • Hemodynamic uncertainty • Temporal structure • Functional distance - an optimization problem • No metric structure • Expensive !
A Solution Distortion minimizing
Feature Space Φ Orthogonal Bases Graph Partitioning Normalized graph Laplacian of F
Model Size Selection • Strike balance between model complexity and model fit • Information theoretic or Bayesian criteria • Notion of model complexity • Cross-validation • IID Assumption
