Brain regions that contribute in controlling state transition from rest to the seven cognitive tasks recorded in the Human Connectome Project (HCP)

Caption

One of the merits of the research team’s new framework is that it can identify brain regions that play important roles in controlling the mean brain activity and the covariance among brain regions in state transitions. The left and middle panels show areas that contribute to controlling the mean and covariance, respectively. The right panel shows the regions that contribute to control the mean and covariance as a whole. The color of a brain region signifies the number of tasks to which the region contributes to the transition. (As seven tasks are recorded in HCP, the numbers take integer values from 0 to 7.)
