There
is no standard metric for the integrity of a functional network but such a
measure is necessary for quantitatively comparing networks between subjects
and groups. The k-means clustering
algorithm can be used to segment fMRI data into functional networks or
clusters in a very fast and efficient way.
In this abstract we present an index for quantifying the overall
functional coherence of a network.
