  3. Introduction • Why resting brain • A basic question • Functional connection of cognitive and metacognitive regions • Methods • Results • Discussion

  4. Why resting brain Goal of cognitive psychology: Cognitive psychology is the science of how the mind is organized to produce intelligent thought and how it is realized in the brain (John R. Anderson (2010) . Cognitive Psychology and its implications (7th edition). New York, NY: Worth Publishers)

  5. Organization example 1: Semantic Network Collins and Quillian (1969) Retrieval time from semantic memory. Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 8, 240-247

  6. Organization example 2: ACT-R John R. Anderson, Michael D. Byrne, Scott Douglass, Christian Lebiere, and Yulin Qin. (2004). An integrated theory of the mind . Psychological Review. 111(4): 1036-1060

  7. Fundamental Hypothesis: Organization + Stimulus => Task evoked activation infer Stimulus + Task evoked activation ===> Organization(Task)

  8. Why resting brain? Synchronized spontaneous fluctuation in resting brain ===> Organization(Resting) infer

  9. A basic Question ● Stimulus + Task evoked activation ===> Organization(Task) Synchronized spontaneous fluctuation in resting brain ===> Organization(Resting) Is Organization(Task) consistent with Organization(Resting) ?

  10. Functional connection of cognitive and metacognitive regions Pyramid problems Regular Problems: 4$3=x (4$3=4+3+2=9 => x=9) Exception Problems x$4=x (2$4=2+1+0+(-1)=2 => x=2) Cognitive pattern: (1) Equal activity for exception and regular problems; (2) Much stronger activation when solving the problem than when reflecting on the problem’s solution after solving the problem Metacognitive pattern: (1) Stronger activity for exception than regular problems; (2) Equal activity when solving the problem and when reflecting on the problem’s solution after solving the problem Samuel Wintermute, Shawn Betts, Jennifer L.

  12. Outline • Introduction • Methods (resting brain) • Participants • Procedure • Data acquisition • Data preprocessing • Functional connectivity analysis • Results • Discussion

  13. Participants • 21 healthy students from BJUT • 10 female, 24.1±1.9 years old • Signed an informed consent • Data from all subjects were used for further data processing since their head shifted less than 1.5 mm or the head rotated less than 1.5°

  14. Procedure • Eye closed resting state scanning • 307 images • Totally 10’20’’ in one session

  15. Data Acquisition • 3.0 Tesla Siemens MRI scanner with a standard whole-head 12 channel coil • TR = 2 s • TE = 31 ms • Flip angle = 90 • FOV = 200 mm × 200 mm • Matrix =64 × 64 • Thickness = 3.2 mm • Gap = 0 mm • Axial slices = 32 (with AC-PC through the 23rd slice from the top of the brain • Voxel size = 3.125 mm × 3.125 mm × 3.2 mm

  16. Data Preprocessing • NIS (NeuroImaging Software, http://kraepelin.wpic.pitt.edu/nis/). • First 7 images deleted for magnetization equilibrium • Motion correction • Spatially normalized to a standard brain

  17. Functional Connectivity Analysis • REST (Resting-State fMRI Data Analysis Toolkit, http://www.restfmri.net/forum/index.php ) • Ideal band pass filter • Time serials in each voxel filtered into the frequency range of 0.01–0.08 Hz (period: 100s – 12.5s) • Regression analysis • Several sources of spurious variances from 6 head motion parameters, global mean signal and white matter signal removed • Seeds definition • Predefined (see below) • Voxel wised connectivity in whole brain • r map • r to Z map • Group t-test: p<0.01(uncorrected), cluster size>4

  18. Predefined 12 Seeds

ACC LIPFC Motor HIPS PSPL PPC BA 10 ANG Middle Insula Anterior Insula PSPL: Posterior superior parietal lobule; ACC: Anterior cingulate cortex; HIPS: Horizontal intraparietal sulcus; PPC: Posterior parietal cortex; LIPFC: Lateral inferior prefrontal cortex; ANG: Angular gyrus Caudate Fusiform is 5 slices below to the last slice, not shown here.

  38. Outline Introduction Methods Results Discussion

  39. 1. High consistency between the brain activation patterns in task-on brain and the spontaneous fluctuation patterns in resting brain 2. Convergent evidence for four kinds of brain networks: (1) Metacognitive (2) Cognitive (3) Mixed (4) Control 3. Functional connectivity in the resting brain can help us to elaborate the picture of brain organization
