Abstract
A method for mapping brain function of a subject includes receiving a dataset of resting state fMRI (RS-fMRI) three dimensional (3D) image frames of the subject's brain, and inputting the 3D image frames to a deep learning artificial neural network. For each voxel of each 3D image frame and for each resting state network of a plurality of resting state networks, the deep learning artificial neural network calculates a probability that the voxel belongs to the resting state network. The deep learning artificial neural network is trained beforehand using a plurality of 3D image frames including previously defined resting state networks obtained from a plurality of calibration subjects. The method includes generating one or more functional map of the plurality of resting state networks of the subject's brain using the probabilities calculated by the artificial neural network.
