Neuroimaging measures that perform well at
behavior prediction are not necessarily best suited to individual
identification, suggesting a dichotomy between prediction and
identification. Nonetheless, high-resolution structural connectome
performed well at both tasks.
Figure 5:
Neuroimaging-derived phenotypes arranged in a two-dimensional space,
where the horizontal and vertical axes, quantify performance in
behavior prediction (variance explained) and individual
identification (Cohen’s d), respectively. Structural connectivity
performs well for both tasks, whereas a dichotomy is evident for the
other measures. This shows a trade-off where high performance in one
dimension results in low performance in the complementing dimension.
Figure 1: Study overview. A) Neuroimaging-derived phenotypes arranged according to cortical structure (bottom) and connectivity (top). B) Schematic of methodology. First, a neuroimaging-derived phenotype is selected. Second, the selected phenotype is either mapped at the resolution of voxels/vertices, or a regional atlas. Third, the selected phenotype is represented as a fingerprint for each individual. Finally, the similarity in fingerprints is computed between pairs of individuals. The similarity matrix is used for individual identification and behavior prediction.
