Bayesian Inference of Whole-Brain Networks

Hinne, M., Heskes, T., van Gerven, M. A. J.

Understand

In structural brain networks the connections of interest consist of white-matter fibre bundles between spatially segregated brain regions.

The presence, location and orientation of these white matter tracts can be derived using diffusion MRI in combination with probabilistic tractography.
Unfortunately, as of yet no approaches have been suggested that provide an undisputed way of inferring brain networks from tractography.
In this paper, we provide a computational framework which we refer to as Bayesian connectomics.
