fMRI Basics

• Safe and non-invasive

• Temporal resolution ~ 1 3D image every second

• Spatial resolution ~ 1 mm– Voxels: 3mm x 3mm x 3-5mm

• Measures the BOLD response: Blood Oxygen Level Dependent– Indirect indicator of neural activity

5

The BOLD response

• Ratio of deoxy-hemoglobin to oxy-hemoglobin (different magnetic properties).

• Also called hemodynamic response function (HRF).

• Common working assumption: responses sum linearly.

Time (seconds)

• At left is a typical BOLD response to a brief stimulation.

• (Here, subject reads a word, decides whether it is a noun or verb, and pushes a button in less than 1 second.)

Lots of features!• 10,000-15,000 voxels per image

9

Study: Pictures and Sentences

• 13 normal subjects.

• 40 trials per subject.

• Sentences and pictures describe 3 symbols: *, +, and $, using ‘above’, ‘below’, ‘not above’, ‘not below’.

• Images are acquired every 0.5 seconds.

fMRI Summary

• High-dimensional time series data.

• Considerable noise on the data.

• Typically small number of examples (trials) compared with features (voxels).

• BOLD responses sum linearly.

It’s not hopeless!

• Learning setting is tough, but we can do it!• Feature selection is key.

Why is this interesting?• Cognitive architectures like ACT-R and

4CAPS predict cognitive processes involved in tasks, along with cortical regions associated with the processes.

• Machine learning can contribute to these architectures by linking their predictions to empirical fMRI data.

19

Other Successes

• We can distinguish between 12 semantic categories of words (e.g. tools vs. buildings).

• We can train classifiers across multiple subjects.

20

What can’t we do?

• Take into account that the responses for Picture and Sentence overlap.

• What does the response for Decide look like and when does it start?

22

Motivation

• Overlapping processes– The responses to Picture and Sentence could

overlap in space and/or time.

• Hidden processes– Decide does not directly correspond to the

known stimuli.

• Move to a temporal model.

23

Hidden Markov Models?

• Can’t do overlapping processes – states are mutually exclusive.

• Markov assumption: given statet-1, statet is independent of everything before t-1.

• BOLD response: Not Markov!

24

factorial HMMs?

• Have more flexibility than we need.– Picture state sequence should not be {0 1 0 1

0 1 0 1…}

• Still have Markov assumption problem.

26

HPM Parameters• Set of processes, each of which has:

– a process ID– a maximum response duration R– emission weights for each voxel v [W(v,1),

…,W(v,t),…,W(v,R)] – a multinomial distribution over possible start

times within a trial [1,…,t,…,T]

• Set of standard deviations – one for each voxel 1,…,v,...,V]

27

Interpreting data with HPMs

• Data Interpretation (int)– Set of process instances, each of which has:

• a process ID• a start time S

• To predict fMRI data using an HPM and int:– For each active process, add the response

associated with its processID to the prediction.

28

Synthetic Data ExampleProcess 1: Process 2: Process 3:

Process responses:

Process instances:

Predicted data

ProcessID=1, S=1

ProcessID=2, S=17

ProcessID=3, S=21

29

Our Assumptions

• Processes, not states.– One hidden variable – process start time.

• Known number of processes in the model.– e.g. Picture, Sentence, Decide – 3 processes

• Known number of instantiations of those processes.– e.g. numTrials*3 processes

• Each process has a unique signature.• Contributions of overlapping processes to the

same output variable sum linearly.

30

The generative model

• Together HPM and interpretation (int) define a probability distribution over sequences of fMRI images:

where

P(yv,t|hpm,int) = N(v,t,v)

v,t = Wi.procID(v,t – start(i))i active process instances

31

Inference

• Given:– An HPM– A set of data interpretations (int) of

processIDs and start times– Priors over the interpretations

• P(int=i|Y) P(Y|int=i)P(int=i)

Choose the interpretation i with the highest probability.

32

Synthetic Data ExampleInterpretation 1:

Observed data

ProcessID=1, S=1

ProcessID=2, S=17

ProcessID=3, S=21

Interpretation 2:

ProcessID=2, S=1

ProcessID=1, S=17

ProcessID=3, S=23

Prediction 2

33

Learning the Model

• EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm

• E-step– Estimate a conditional distribution over the

start times of the process instances given the observed data, P(S|fMRI).

• M-step– Use the distribution from the E step to get

maximum-likelihood estimates of the HPM parameters {, W, }.

34

More on the E-step

• The start times of the process instances are not necessarily conditionally independent given the data.– Must consider joint configurations.– With no constraints, TnInstances configurations. – 2000120 configurations for typical experiment.

• Can we consider a smaller set of start time configurations?

35

Reducing complexity

• Prior knowledge– Landmarks

• Events with known timing that “trigger” processes. • One per process instance.

– Offsets• The interval of possible delays from a landmark to

a process instance onset. • One vector of n offsets per process.

• Conditional independencies– Introduced when no process instance could

be active.

More on the M-step

• Weighted least squares procedure – exact, but may become intractable for large

problems– weights are the probabilities computed in the

E-step

• Gradient ascent procedure – approximate, but may be necessary when

exact method is intractable– derivatives of the expected log likelihood of

the data with respect to the parameters

GNB vs. HPM Classification

• GNB: non-overlapping processes• HPM: simultaneous classification of

multiple overlapping processes

• Average improvement of 15% in classification error using HPM vs GNB

• E.g., for one subject– GNB classification error: 0.14– HPM classification error: 0.09

Model selection experiments

• Model with 2 or 3 cognitive processes?– How would we know ground truth?– Cross validated data likelihood P(testData |

HPM)• Better with 3 processes than 2

– Cross validated classification accuracy• Better with 3 processes than 2

45

Current work and challenges

• Add temporal and/or spatial smoothness constraints.

• Feature selection for HPMs.• Process libraries, hierarchies.• Process parameters (e.g. sentence

negated or not).• Model process interactions.• Scaling parameters for response

amplitudes to model habituation effects.

Some questions

• What processes are interesting?

• What granularity/duration would processes have?

• What would landmarks be?

• Variable process durations needed?

• Better way to parameterize process signatures?
