Abstract
The accurate estimation of functional brain networks is essential for comprehending the intricate relationships between different brain regions. Conventional methods such as Pearson Correlation and Sparse Representation often fail to uncover concealed information within diverse frequency bands. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel frequency-adaptive model based on wavelet transform, enabling selective capture of highly correlated frequency band sequences. Our approach involves decomposing the original time-domain signal from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging into distinct frequency domains, thus constructing an adjacency matrix that offers enhanced separation of features across brain regions. Comparative analysis demonstrates the superior performance of our proposed model over conventional techniques, showcasing improved clarity and distinctiveness. Notably, we achieved the highest accuracy rate of 89.01% using Sparse Representation based on Wavelet Transform, outperforming Pearson Correlation based on Wavelet Transform with an accuracy of 81.32%. Importantly, our method optimizes raw data without significantly altering feature topology, rendering it adaptable to various functional brain network estimation approaches. Overall, this innovation holds the potential to advance the understanding of brain function and furnish more accurate samples for future research and clinical applications.
