MIC as an Appropriate Method to Construct the Brain Functional Network

Figure 1

The connection matrices (90 × 90) of a randomly chosen subject from 13 samples were calculated by the 6 previously described methods (CF, PCF, CH, WCF, MIC, MI). The horizontal and vertical axes are the 90 ROIs. The color intensity represents the connection strength. One can get an intuitive understanding of the brain functional connectivity. These connection matrices are the basis for our subsequent research.
