用时空模型预测全脑脑影像数据,提升扫描时间短时的研究质量。

BrainCast: A Spatio-Temporal Forecasting Model for Whole-Brain fMRI Time Series Prediction

  • 将脑区时间序列建模为令牌,联合捕捉脑区间空间关系与内部动态变化。
  • 在人类连接组计划数据上,预测精度优于现有方法,且提升认知能力预测效果。
  • 适合受限扫描时间下的神经科学研究,助力临床与脑功能分析。

功能磁共振成像(fMRI)可无创研究大脑功能,但受人因与非人因影响,临床扫描时间较短,常导致数据质量下降和统计效力不足。本文提出BrainCast,一种专为全脑fMRI时间序列预测设计的新型时空预测框架,可在不额外采集数据的前提下延长信息量。该模型将fMRI时间序列预测视为多变量时间序列任务,联合建模感兴趣脑区(ROIs)内的时序动态与跨脑区的空间交互。具体包括:空间交互感知模块,通过将每个脑区时间序列嵌入为令牌以刻画脑区间依赖;时序特征增强模块,通过强化各脑区时间序列的低频与高频成分来捕捉内在神经动态;时空模式对齐模块,融合空间与时间表征生成具有信息量的全脑特征。在人类连接组计划的静息态与任务态fMRI数据集上,BrainCast显著优于现有先进时间序列预测基线。此外,由BrainCast扩展的fMRI时间序列能有效提升下游认知能力预测性能,凸显了在扫描时间受限场景下,全脑fMRI时间序列预测在临床与神经科学中的重要价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables noninvasive investigation of brain function, while short clinical scan durations, arising from human and non-human factors, usually lead to reduced data quality and limited statistical power for neuroimaging research. In this paper, we propose BrainCast, a novel spatio-temporal forecasting framework specifically tailored for whole-brain fMRI time series forecasting, to extend informative fMRI time series without additional data acquisition. It formulates fMRI time series forecasting as a multivariate time series prediction task and jointly models temporal dynamics within regions of interest (ROIs) and spatial interactions across ROIs. Specifically, BrainCast integrates a Spatial Interaction Awareness module to characterize inter-ROI dependencies via embedding every ROI time series as a token, a Temporal Feature Refinement module to capture intrinsic neural dynamics within each ROI by enhancing both low- and high-energy temporal components of fMRI time series at the ROI level, and a Spatio-temporal Pattern Alignment module to combine spatial and temporal representations for producing informative whole-brain features. Experimental results on resting-state and task fMRI datasets from the Human Connectome Project demonstrate the superiority of BrainCast over state-of-the-art time series forecasting baselines. Moreover, fMRI time series extended by BrainCast improve downstream cognitive ability prediction, highlighting the clinical and neuroscientific impact brought by whole-brain fMRI time series forecasting in scenarios with restricted scan durations.
