特征选择下的轻度认知障碍正负网络失衡研究

FUNCTIONAL IMBALANCE BETWEEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE NETWORK IN MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT VIA FEATURE SELECTION

  • 摘要: 将机器学习和静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)功能连接(Functionalconnectivity,FC)相结合研究轻度认知障碍(MCI)与正常对照组(NC)组之间的统计学意义是很常见的,但不同数据、不同方法所找到的异常FC脑区并不完全一致。提出一种基于种子点分析(SBA)技术的FC断开性特征选择方法。该方法将研究静息状态下负网络和正网络的FC,并试图从网络中寻找比区域更一致的FC。实验采用公开的rs-fMRI数据,结果表明,所提的特征选择方法分类准确率高于传统方法约8百分点;对所选正、负网络的FC特征数进行统计,即使在不同的数据分组中,MCI正网络的特征比负网络的特征多约12%,结果证明了两网络间可能存在失衡以及两者所服务的心理活动缺乏正常的竞争,导致患者注意力下降。

     

    Abstract: It is very common to study the statistical significance between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal control (NC) groups with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) functional connectivity (FC) and machine learning. However, the significant FC regions from different data or different methods are not entirely consistent. In this paper, we propose a neurological FC-disconnection feature-selection method based on a seed point analysis (SBA) technique. The proposed method studied the FC in a negative and a positive network under the resting state, and tried to find more consistency from the networks than from regions. The experiment used public rs-fMRI data. The results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed feature-selection method is about 8 percentage points higher than the traditional method. After the selected FC features counted in the positive and negative network, the features of the positive network of MCI are about 12% more than those of the negative network. The results prove that there may be an imbalance between the two networks and the lack of normal competition in the psychological activities of the services, leading to the decline of patients' attention.
