Understanding the spatial and temporal characteristics of neural dynamics is crucial for our understanding of information processing in the human brain. Graph neural networks offer a new approach to analyze graph-structured signals observed in complex brain networks. In our study, we compare different spatiotemporal GNN architectures and evaluate their ability to model neural activity distributions obtained from functional MRI studies. The results show that GNN-based approaches can robustly scale to large network studies even with limited data.
Comprehending the interplay between spatial and temporal characteristics of neural dynamics can contribute to our understanding of information processing in the human brain. Graph neural networks (GNNs) provide a new possibility to interpret graph-structured signals like those observed in complex brain networks. In our study we compare different spatiotemporal GNN architectures and study their ability to model neural activity distributions obtained in functional MRI (fMRI) studies. We evaluate the performance of the GNN models on a variety of scenarios in MRI studies and also compare it to a VAR model, which is currently often used for directed functional connectivity analysis. We show that by learning localized functional interactions on the anatomical substrate, GNN-based approaches are able to robustly scale to large network studies, even when available data are scarce. By including anatomical connectivity as the physical substrate for information propagation, such GNNs also provide a multimodal perspective on directed connectivity analysis, offering a novel possibility to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics in brain networks.
