A New General Linear Convolution Model for fMRI Data Process

摘要

General linear model (GLM) is the most popular method for functional magnetic resource imaging (fMRI) data analysis . However, its theory is imperfect. The key of this model is how to constitute the design-matrix to model the interesting effects better and separate noises better. For the purpose of detecting brain function activation , according to the principle of GLM,a new convolution model is presented by a new dynamic function convolving with design-matrix,which combining with t-test can be used to detect brain active signal. The fMRI imaging result of visual stimulus experiment indicates that brain activities mainly concentrate among v1and v2 areas of visual cortex, and also verified the validity of this technique.
