Problem Statement -1 :

Team - 1:​ Calculate network parameters on the given brain network data and do classification in
gender; and positive-negative emotions.
Team - 2:​ Calculate network parameters on the given brain network data and do classification in
15 emotions.

I/p data:​ Weighted Adjacency matrix

O/p:​ Classification in respective classes
Team - 1:​ Atasi Das
Team - 2:​ Atrayee Roy

1. a​Description about data file (in csv format) [Just for the information]
percentile_25_female_baseline_Network_Graph_as_per_PLV metric_for-cheerful-baseline >
emotion_with_.csv

Percentile_25: threshold specific information

Female_baseline: Gender Category
Network_Graph_as_per_PLV metric_for: General string
Cheerful: Name of Emotion
baseline > emotion: comparison condition

2. Above csv file contains following columns:

vert1 vert2 Anatomy1 Anatomy2 weight

Consider vert1 and vert2 as node1 and node2 respectively of the network. Weight is the
weight of the edge between them.
3. Extraction node1, node2 and weight information from csv file to prepare the adjacency
matrix.
4. Study the parameters from paper​b​ .
5. Calculate these parameters for the extracted adjacency matrix.
6. Based on the calculated information will create the hot vector of these network features
and will feed this hot vector in machine to do the classification.

Resources:
a. I am sending only one csv file so that calculation of network parameters could be
focused instead of file handling.

Problem - 2:​ Clustering out significant regions of activity in fMRI images for emotional faces and
object processing.

i/p:​ fMRI data from human connectome project​a

o/p:​ Binary classification in active and non-active regions

Problem - 3: Calculating Temporal Functional Modes for Happy Emotions.

Although temporal functional modes are slightly different mechanisms but for the sake of
simplicity we would follow procedure as given in problem 1 or 2.

Problem - 4: Finding Network hubs for different working memory loads.

Working memory holds and manipulates operational information over short periods of time. A simple example is that
of mentally multiplying numbers together (e.g., 7 × 19) without the aid of pen or paper. Working memory combines
and processes information obtained from the environment with stored information recalled from long-term memory.
There are two basic subdivisions of working memory that operate more or less independently: verbal working
memory and visual working memory

i/p: MEG data from human connectome project

o/p: Will find and interpret importance of hub pertaining to memory load.

Team - 5: Yogesh Karan

Procedure:
1. Calculating phase locking value(PLV)[a type of correlation calculation] between MEG
channels.
2. Calculating Network adjacency using PLV values
3. Finding out hubs in the network.
4. Comparing network organization with reference to hubs for different memory loads.

and working memory?.pdf
2. Read Page no 54 in the attached manual HCP_S900_Release_Reference_Manual.pdf
