9.4.5. Deriving spatial maps from group fMRI data using ICA and Dictionary Learning

Various approaches exist to derive spatial maps or networks from group fmr data. The methods extract distributed brain regions that exhibit similar BOLD fluctuations over time. Decomposition methods allow for generation of many independent maps simultaneously without the need to provide a priori information (e.g. seeds or priors.)

This example will apply two popular decomposition methods, ICA and Dictionary Learning, to fMRI data measured while children and young adults watch movies. The resulting maps will be visualized using atlas plotting tools.

CanICA is an ICA method for group-level analysis of fMRI data. Compared to other strategies, it brings a well-controlled group model, as well as a thresholding algorithm controlling for specificity and sensitivity with an explicit model of the signal. The reference paper is:

9.4.5.1. Load brain development fmri dataset

from nilearn import datasets

rest_dataset = datasets.fetch_development_fmri(n_subjects=30)
func_filenames = rest_dataset.func  # list of 4D nifti files for each subject

# print basic information on the dataset
print('First functional nifti image (4D) is at: %s' %
      rest_dataset.func[0])  # 4D data

Out:

First functional nifti image (4D) is at: /home/nicolas/nilearn_data/development_fmri/development_fmri/sub-pixar123_task-pixar_space-MNI152NLin2009cAsym_desc-preproc_bold.nii.gz

9.4.5.2. Apply CanICA on the data

We use as “template” as a strategy to compute the mask, as this leads to slightly faster and more reproducible results. However, the images need to be in MNI template space.

from nilearn.decomposition import CanICA

canica = CanICA(n_components=20,
                memory="nilearn_cache", memory_level=2,
                verbose=10,
                mask_strategy='template',
                random_state=0)
canica.fit(func_filenames)

# Retrieve the independent components in brain space. Directly
# accesible through attribute `components_img_`.
canica_components_img = canica.components_img_
# components_img is a Nifti Image object, and can be saved to a file with
# the following line:
canica_components_img.to_filename('canica_resting_state.nii.gz')

9.4.5.3. Compare CanICA to dictionary learning

Dictionary learning is a sparsity based decomposition method for extracting spatial maps. It extracts maps that are naturally sparse and usually cleaner than ICA. Here, we will compare networks built with CanICA to networks built with Dictionary Learning.

Create a dictionary learning estimator

from nilearn.decomposition import DictLearning

dict_learning = DictLearning(n_components=20,
                             memory="nilearn_cache", memory_level=2,

                             n_epochs=1,
                             mask_strategy='template')

print('[Example] Fitting dicitonary learning model')
dict_learning.fit(func_filenames)

Estimate explained variance per component and plot using matplotlib

The fitted object dict_learning can be used to calculate the score per component

scores = dict_learning.score(func_filenames, per_component=True)

# Plot the scores
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import FormatStrFormatter

plt.figure(figsize=(4, 4))
positions = np.arange(len(scores))
plt.barh(positions, scores)
plt.ylabel('Component #', size=12)
plt.xlabel('Explained variance', size=12)
plt.yticks(np.arange(20))
plt.gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(FormatStrFormatter('%.3f'))
plt.tight_layout()

If this happens often in your code, it can cause performance problems
(results will be correct in all cases).
The reason for this is probably some large input arguments for a wrapped
 function (e.g. large strings).
THIS IS A JOBLIB ISSUE. If you can, kindly provide the joblib's team with an
 example so that they can fix the problem.
