FAQPage Schema
How do I identify quasi-stationary brain states from dynamic connectivity data?▼

You can identify quasi-stationary brain states from dynamic connectivity data by applying tensor decomposition to a time-resolved connectivity tensor, extracting temporally invariant network states and their topographic representations.

Can I use tensor decomposition for dynamic brain connectivity in both EEG and fMRI datasets?▼

Yes, tensor decomposition for dynamic brain connectivity is cross-modal and applies to EEG, fMRI, and MEG datasets to uncover quasi-stationary network states during cognitive tasks or resting-state analysis.

What format should time-varying connectivity data be in for tensor decomposition of brain states?▼

Time-varying connectivity data must be constructed as a connectivity tensor with dimensions Time × Region × Region before applying Tucker or CP decomposition to extract brain network states.

What is the difference between Tucker and CP decomposition for extracting network states?▼

Both Tucker and CP decomposition extract temporally invariant network states from dynamic connectivity tensors, with Tucker allowing flexible component counts per mode and CP yielding a direct sum of rank-one factors for state mapping.

How do I visualize brain network states after tensor decomposition?▼

After tensor decomposition, you can visualize brain network states using optional state mapping and topographic visualization features, generating topographic maps per state for interpretability of the extracted quasi-stationary connectivity patterns.

When should I use tensor decomposition over other methods for dynamic brain connectivity analysis?▼

Use tensor decomposition for dynamic brain connectivity when you need a compact representation of quasi-stationary network states from time-varying data, enabling state discovery and transition analysis that scalar methods cannot capture.
