FH- Functional Holography
• A new approach for analyzing complex activity in biological networks in the space of functional correlations.
• Holography – as in holograms, where a part of a hologram will still reveal an entire picture, we hope to gain the whole functional picture by sampling only part of the data

FH- Functional Holography
• This is done by combining two parameters to find structural resemblance (affinity):
– Time propagation – by computing correlations between time sequences -
– Functional properties – by computing distances between correlations (correlation of correlations) -

PCA
By reducing the number of dimensions, we get the FH manifold:

Applying FH to fMRI
• Motor Cortex: Unilateral hand movements– 5 hand movements for each hand– 15 seconds for each movement– Instructions to start and to end movements– Rest period of 10 seconds between movements– Every block of rest, instruction, movement, rest is
analyzed as a single event
