Hidden Markov Models Speaking of HMMs, really enjoyed this paper on dynamics underlying resting state and other conditions. The idea of a baseline state from which excursions lead to more integrated states is really interesting. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... #neuroskyence

🔥CAN YOU MAP BLOOD FLOW in the brain from resting state fMRI? 🔥Ingenious new method [1] learns from jointly collected ASL (arterial spin labeling), SPECT, and rsFMRI to infer blood flow from fMRI 💡Cool as you can now estimate perfusion from 10000s of scans, of people who don't have ASL or SPECT 👇
