Coalescent embedding in the hyperbolic space unsupervisedly discloses the hidden geometry of the brain

Understand

The human brain displays a complex network topology, whose structural organization is widely studied using diffusion tensor imaging.

• The original geometry from which emerges the network topology is known, as well as the localization of the network nodes in respect to the brain morphology and anatomy.
• One of the most challenging problems of current network science is to infer the latent geometry from the mere topology of a complex network.
• The human brain structural connectome represents the perfect benchmark to test algorithms aimed to solve this problem.
