pubmed-article:15046247 | pubmed:abstractText | Temporal self-correlation has recentlybeen proposed as a measure for fMRI-activation detection. In this paper, a modified temporal self-correlation method is introduced. The modified temporal self-correlation is based on the expectation value and standard deviation of the correlation coefficients between all pairs of epochs, while the original temporal self-correlation method is only based on the expectation value. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on both simulated and in vivo fMRI data. Compared with the original temporal self-correlation method, the proposed method shows a significant improvement. In addition, a technique for quantitative comparison of different fMRI data analysis methods is proposed. | lld:pubmed |
