  • 适合关注神经影像隐私保护与多中心研究的科研人员。

静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)及其衍生的功能连接网络(FCNs)已成为理解神经疾病的关键工具。然而,由于隐私法规及多源数据非独立同分布(non-IID)特性,协同分析与模型泛化仍面临挑战。为此,我们提出领域对抗联邦学习(DAFed),一种专为多中心非IID fMRI数据设计的联邦深度学习框架。DAFed通过特征解耦将潜在特征空间分解为域不变与域特定成分,保障全局学习鲁棒性的同时保留本地数据特性;结合对抗训练实现标签与无标签数据间有效知识迁移,对比学习模块强化域不变特征的全局表示。我们在自闭症(ASD)诊断任务上评估DAFed,进一步验证其在阿尔茨海默病(AD)分类中的泛化能力,结果表明其分类准确率显著优于现有方法。此外,改进的Score-CAM模块识别出与ASD及轻度认知障碍(MCI)相关的关键脑区与功能连接,揭示了跨站点的共享神经生物学模式。这些发现凸显DAFed在保护数据隐私的前提下推动多中心神经影像协作研究的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and its derived functional connectivity networks (FCNs) have become critical for understanding neurological disorders. However, collaborative analyses and the generalizability of models still face significant challenges due to privacy regulations and the non-IID (non-independent and identically distributed) property of multiple data sources. To mitigate these difficulties, we propose Domain Adversarial Federated Learning (DAFed), a novel federated deep learning framework specifically designed for non-IID fMRI data analysis in multi-site settings. DAFed addresses these challenges through feature disentanglement, decomposing the latent feature space into domain-invariant and domain-specific components, to ensure robust global learning while preserving local data specificity. Furthermore, adversarial training facilitates effective knowledge transfer between labeled and unlabeled datasets, while a contrastive learning module enhances the global representation of domain-invariant features. We evaluated DAFed on the diagnosis of ASD and further validated its generalizability in the classification of AD, demonstrating its superior classification accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, an enhanced Score-CAM module identifies key brain regions and functional connectivity significantly associated with ASD and MCI, respectively, uncovering shared neurobiological patterns across sites. These findings highlight the potential of DAFed to advance multi-site collaborative research in neuroimaging while protecting data confidentiality.
