Decoding mental activity at rest is a challenge because
spontaneous events occur in the brain without any
attributed task or prior stimulus timing. In this study,
we validate the use of Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping
prior to Temporal Independent Component Analysis (tICA)
on a movement task to detect discrete motor events. The
tICA components are assessed against EMG and classified
using a meta-analysis, with 78 % of task-driven events
identified by tICA. Results suggest that this method can
be used in future studies of resting data to detect
events and map these to functional areas using a
meta-analysis.
