Abstract
The electrophysiological basis of resting-state networks (RSN) is still under debate. In particular, no principled mechanism has been determined that is capable of explaining all RSN equally well. While magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography are the methods of choice to determine the electrophysiological basis of RSN, no standard analysis pipeline of RSN yet exists. In this article, we compare the two main existing data-driven analysis strategies for extracting RSNs from MEG data and introduce a third approach. The first approach uses phase-amplitude coupling to determine the RSN. The second approach extracts RSN through an independent component analysis of the Hilbert envelope in different frequency bands, while the third new approach uses a singular value decomposition instead. To evaluate these approaches, we compare the MEG-RSN to the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-RSN from the same subjects. Overall, it was possible to extract RSN with MEG using all three techniques, which matched the group-specific fMRI-RSN. Interestingly the new approach based on SVD yielded significantly higher correspondence to five out of seven fMRI-RSN than the two existing approaches. Importantly, with this approach, all networks-except for the visual network-had the highest correspondence to the fMRI networks within one frequency band. Thereby we provide further insights into the electrophysiological underpinnings of the fMRI-RSNs. This knowledge will be important for the analysis of the electrophysiological connectome.

Abstract
The dynamic description of neural networks has attracted the attention of researchers for dynamic networks may carry more information compared with resting-state networks. As a non-invasive electrophysiological data with high temporal and spatial resolution, magnetoencephalogram (MEG) can provide rich information for the analysis of dynamic functional brain networks. In this review, the development of MEG brain network was summarized. Several analysis methods such as sliding window, Hidden Markov model, and time-frequency based methods used in MEG dynamic brain network studies were discussed. Finally, the current research about multi-modal brain network analysis and their applications with MEG neurophysiology, which are prospected to be one of the research directions in the future, were concluded.

Abstract
Background/Introduction: Widespread network disruption has been hypothesized to be an important predictor of outcomes in patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Most studies examining functional network disruption in epilepsy have largely focused on the symmetric bidirectional metrics of the strength of network connections. However, a more complete description of network dysfunction impacts in epilepsy requires an investigation of the potentially more sensitive directional metrics of information flow. Methods: This study describes a whole-brain magnetoencephalography-imaging approach to examine resting-state directional information flow networks, quantified by phase-transfer entropy (PTE), in patients with TLE compared with healthy controls (HCs). Associations between PTE and clinical characteristics of epilepsy syndrome are also investigated. Results: Deficits of information flow were specific to alpha-band frequencies. In alpha band, while HCs exhibit a clear posterior-to-anterior directionality of information flow, in patients with TLE, this pattern of regional information outflow and inflow was significantly altered in the frontal and occipital regions. The changes in information flow within the alpha band in selected brain regions were correlated with interictal spike frequency and duration of epilepsy. Conclusions: Impaired information flow is an important dimension of network dysfunction associated with the pathophysiological mechanisms of TLE.

Multilayer MEG functional connectivity as a potential marker for suicidal thoughts in major depressive disorder. NEUROIMAGE-CLINICAL 2020; 28:102378.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly heterogeneous in its clinical presentation. The present exploratory study used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate electrophysiological intrinsic connectivity differences between healthy volunteers and unmedicated participants with treatment-resistant MDD. The study examined canonical frequency bands from delta through gamma. In addition to group comparisons, correlational studies were conducted to determine whether connectivity was related to five symptom factors: depressed mood, tension, negative cognition, suicidal thoughts, and amotivation. The MDD and healthy volunteer groups did not differ significantly at baseline when corrected across all frequencies and clusters, although evidence of generalized slowing in MDD was observed. Notably, however, electrophysiological connectivity was strongly related to suicidal thoughts, particularly as coupling of low frequency power fluctuations (delta and theta) with alpha and beta power. This analysis revealed hub areas underlying this symptom cluster, including left hippocampus, left anterior insula, and bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. No other symptom cluster demonstrated a relationship with neurophysiological connectivity, suggesting a specificity to these results as markers of suicidal ideation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Functional connectivity (FC) dynamics have been studied in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, while it is largely unknown in electrophysiological data, e.g. EEG. APPROACH The present study proposed a novel analytic framework to study spatiotemporal dynamics of FC (dFC) in resting-state human EEG data, including independent component analysis, cortical source imaging, sliding-window correlation analysis, and k-means clustering. MAIN RESULTS Our results confirm that major fMRI intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) can be successfully reconstructed from EEG using our analytic framework. Prominent spatial and temporal variability were revealed in these ICNs. The mean dFC spatial patterns of individual ICNs resemble their corresponding static FC (sFC) patterns but show fewer cross-talks among distinct ICNs. Our investigation unveils evidences of time-domain variations in individual ICNs comparable to their mean FC level in terms of magnitude. The major contributors to these variations are from the frequency below 0.0156 Hz, in the similar range of FC dynamics from fMRI data. Among different ICNs, larger temporal variabilities are observed in the frontal attention and auditory/visual ICNs, while sensorimotor, salience, and default model networks showed less. Our analytic framework for the first time revealed quasi-stable states within individual EEG ICNs, with various strengths or spatial patterns that were reliably detected at both group and individual levels. These states all together reveal a more complete picture of EEG ICNs: (1) quasi-stable state spatial patterns as a whole for each EEG ICN are more consistent with the corresponding fMRI ICN in terms of the bilateral distribution and multi-nodes structure; (2) EEG ICNs reveal more transient patterns about within-ICN between-node communications than fMRI ICNs. SIGNIFICANCE The present findings highlight the fact that rich temporal and spatial dynamics exist in ICN that can be detected from EEG data. Future studies might extend investigations towards spectral dynamics of EEG ICNs.

Abstract
Recently, exploring brain activity based on functional networks during naturalistic stimuli especially music and video represents an attractive challenge because of the low signal-to-noise ratio in collected brain data. Although most efforts focusing on exploring the listening brain have been made through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), sensor-level electro- or magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) technique, little is known about how neural rhythms are involved in the brain network activity under naturalistic stimuli. This study exploited cortical oscillations through analysis of ongoing EEG and musical feature during freely listening to music. We used a data-driven method that combined music information retrieval with spatial Fourier Independent Components Analysis (spatial Fourier-ICA) to probe the interplay between the spatial profiles and the spectral patterns of the brain network emerging from music listening. Correlation analysis was performed between time courses of brain networks extracted from EEG data and musical feature time series extracted from music stimuli to derive the musical feature related oscillatory patterns in the listening brain. We found brain networks of musical feature processing were frequency-dependent. Musical feature time series, especially fluctuation centroid and key feature, were associated with an increased beta activation in the bilateral superior temporal gyrus. An increased alpha oscillation in the bilateral occipital cortex emerged during music listening, which was consistent with alpha functional suppression hypothesis in task-irrelevant regions. We also observed an increased delta-beta oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex associated with musical feature processing. In addition to these findings, the proposed method seems valuable for characterizing the large-scale frequency-dependent brain activity engaged in musical feature processing.

Abstract
Analysis of whole-brain frequency-specific resting state networks with EEG. Comparison of dopamine medication ON and OFF state in Parkinson patients. Parkinson patients show distinct frequency-specific network alterations. Motor network at beta frequencies is re-instated after dopamine medication.
Parkinson's disease (PD) causes both motor and non-motor symptoms, which can partially be reversed by dopamine therapy. These symptoms as well as the effect of dopamine may be explained by distinct alterations in whole-brain architecture. We used functional connectivity (FC) and in particular resting state network (RSN) analysis to identify such whole-brain alterations in a frequency-specific manner. In addition, we hypothesized that standard dopaminergic medication would have a normalizing effect on these whole brain alterations. We recorded resting-state EEGs of 19 PD patients in the medical OFF and ON states, and of 12 healthy age-matched controls. The PD patients were either of akinetic-rigid or mixed subtype. We extracted RSNs with independent component analysis in the source space for five frequency bands. Within the sensorimotor network (SMN) the supplementary motor area (SMA) showed decreased FC in the OFF state compared to healthy controls. This finding was reversed after dopamine administration. Furthermore, in the OFF state no stable SMN beta component could be identified. The default mode network showed alterations due to PD independent of the medication state. The visual network was altered in the OFF state, and reinstated to a pattern similar to healthy controls by medication. In conclusion, PD causes distinct RSN alterations, which are partly reversed after levodopa administration. The changes within the SMN are of particular interest, because they broaden the pathophysiological understanding of PD. Our results identify the SMA as a central network hub affected in PD and a crucial effector of dopamine therapy.

Reduced parietal alpha power and psychotic symptoms: Test-retest reliability of resting-state magnetoencephalography in schizophrenia and healthy controls. Schizophr Res 2020; 215:229-240.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increased reporting of resting-state magnetoencephalography (MEG), reliability of those measures remains scarce and predominately reported in healthy controls (HC). As such, there is limited knowledge on MEG resting-state reliability in schizophrenia (SZ). METHODS To address test-retest reliability in psychosis, a reproducibility study of 26 participants (13-SZ, 13-HC) was performed. We collected eyes open and eyes closed resting-state data during 4 separate instances (2 Visits, 2 runs per visit) to estimate spectral power reliability (power, normalized power, alpha reactivity) across one hour and one week. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated. For source modeling, we applied an anatomically constrained linear estimation inverse model known as dynamic statistical parametric mapping (MNE dSPM) and source-based connectivity using the weighted phase lag index. RESULTS Across one week there was excellent test-retest reliability in global spectral measures in theta-gamma bands (HC ICCAvg = 0.87, SZ ICCAvg = 0.87), regional spectral measures in all bands (HC ICCAvg = 0.86, SZ ICCAvg = 0.80), and parietal alpha measures (HC ICCAvg = 0.90, SZ ICCAvg = 0.84). Conversely, functional connectivity had poor reliability, as did source spectral power across one hour for SZ. Relative to HC, SZ also had reduced parietal alpha normalized power during eyes closed only, reduced alpha reactivity, and an association between higher PANSS positive scores and lower parietal alpha power. CONCLUSIONS There was excellent to good test-retest reliability in most MEG spectral measures with a few exceptions in the schizophrenia patient group. Overall, these findings encourage the use of resting-state MEG while emphasizing the importance of determining reliability in clinical populations.

Abstract
The importance of how brain networks function together to create brain states has become increasingly recognized. Therefore, an investigation of eyes-open resting-state dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) of healthy controls (HC) versus that of schizophrenia patients (SP) via both functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a novel magnetoencephalography (MEG) pipeline was completed. The fMRI analysis used a spatial independent component analysis (ICA) to determine the networks on which the dFNC was based. The MEG analysis utilized a source space activity estimate (minimum norm estimate [MNE]/dynamic statistical parametric mapping [dSPM]) whose result was the input to a spatial ICA, on which the networks of the MEG dFNC were based. We found that dFNC measures reveal significant differences between HC and SP, which depended on the imaging modality. Consistent with previous findings, a dFNC analysis predicated on fMRI data revealed HC and SP remain in different overall brain states (defined by a k-means clustering of network correlations) for significantly different periods of time, with SP spending less time in a highly connected state. The MEG dFNC, in contrast, revealed group differences in more global statistics: SP changed between meta-states (k-means cluster states that are allowed to overlap in time) significantly more often and to states that were more different, relative to HC. MEG dFNC also revealed a highly connected state where a significant difference was observed in interindividual variability, with greater variability among SP. Overall, our results show that fMRI and MEG reveal between-group functional connectivity differences in distinct ways, highlighting the utility of using each of the modalities individually, or potentially a combination of modalities, to better inform our understanding of disorders such as schizophrenia.

Abstract
An investigation of differences in dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) of healthy controls (HC) versus that of schizophrenia patients (SP) was completed, using eyes-open resting state MEG data. The MEG analysis utilized a source-space activity estimate (MNE/dSPM) whose result was the input to a group spatial independent component analysis (ICA), on which the networks of our MEG dFNC analysis were based. We have previously reported that our MEG dFNC revealed that SP change between brain meta-states (repeating patterns of network correlations which are allowed to overlap in time) significantly more often and to states which are more different, relative to HC. Here, we extend our previous work to investigate the relationship between symptomology in SP and four meta-state metrics. We found a significant correlation between positive symptoms and the two meta-state metrics which showed significant differences between HC and SP. These two statistics quantified 1) how often individuals change state and 2) the total distance traveled within the state-space. We additionally found that a clustering of the meta-state metrics divides SP into groups which vary in symptomology. These results indicate specific relationships between symptomology and brain function for SP.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health issue. TBI includes a broad spectrum of injury severities and abnormalities. Functional MR imaging (fMR imaging), both resting state (rs) and task, has been used often in research to study the effects of TBI. Although rs-fMR imaging is not currently applicable in clinical diagnosis of TBI, computer-aided tools are making this a possibility for the future. Specifically, graph theory is being used to study the change in networks after TBI. Machine learning methods allow researchers to build models capable of predicting injury severity and recovery trajectories.
