Seed-based connectivity analysis (SCA) is widely used to
study functional connectivity. However, it suffers from
variability inherent in investigator-specific and
subject-specific seed selection dependencies. The
current Automated Subject-Specific Seed Optimization
(ASSSO) method uses an iterative brain atlas based
approach identifies the optimal seed locations to
maximize the detected RSN connectivity in individual
subjects. This seed-selection will maximize the
sensitivity for detecting RSN dynamics at short and long
time scales across the entire brain in real-time. This
methodology is expected to have important applications
in presurgical mapping.
