Abstract:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are utilized to assess both brain activation and co-activation among brain regions. Data produced in an MRI scanner consist of hundreds of thousands of time series indicating changes in the blood oxygenation level. In our work, we propose a method to estimate co-activation of hundreds of brain regions at the task-, subject- and population-level at both concurrent time points and at the lagged time intervals. We assess our methodology via its application to the study of social and heavy alcohol drinkers' reaction to different gustatory cues, including beer, Gatorade and water.
