DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nState-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
 provides unprecedented opportunities to study brain structure (anatomy) an
 d function (physiology). Based on such data\, graph representations can be
  built where nodes are associated to brain regions and edge weights to str
 engths of structural or functional connections. In particular\, structural
  graphs capture major neural pathways in white matter\, while functional g
 raphs map out statistical interdependencies between pairs of regional acti
 vity traces. Network analysis of these graphs has revealed emergent system
 -level properties of brain structure or function\, such as efficiency of c
 ommunication and modular organization.\n\nIn this talk\, graph signal proc
 essing (GSP) will be presented as a novel framework to integrate brain str
 ucture\, contained in the structural graph\, with brain function\, charact
 erized by activity traces that can be considered as time-dependent graph s
 ignals. Such a perspective allows to define novel meaningful graph-filteri
 ng operations of brain activity that take into account smoothness of signa
 ls on the anatomical backbone. This allows to define a new measure of “c
 oupling” between structure and function based on how activity is express
 ed on structural graph harmonics. To provide statistical inference\, we al
 so extend the well-known Fourier phase randomization method to generate su
 rrogate data to the graph setting. This new measure reveals a behaviorally
  relevant spatial gradient\, where sensory regions tend to be more coupled
  with structure\, and high-level cognitive ones less so. In addition\, we 
 also make a case to introduce the graph modularity matrix at the core of G
 SP\, in order to incorporate knowledge about graph community structure whe
 n processing signals on the graph\, but without the need for community det
 ection. Finally\, recent work will highlight how the spatial resolution of
  this type of analyses can be increased to the voxel level\, representing 
 a few hundredth thousands of nodes.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ph.D. Dimitri Van De Vi
