In this paper, researchers introduce a novel approach to task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that leverages the task structures as data-driven guidance for spatiotemporal analysis. The proposed method, STNAGNN, is based on graph neural networks (GNNs) and is shown to be effective in classifying autism using an autism classification task. The trained model is also interpreted to identify autism-related spatiotemporal brain biomarkers.

The researchers used a new approach to fMRI that helps them understand the brain better. They took the actions or stimuli that trigger certain brain responses and matched them with special pictures of the brain (fMRI). Then, they used this information to analyze the brain signals in a special way. This helped them find some patterns in the brain that are linked to autism. The new method is called STNAGNN and it’s good at identifying things that might be helpful for diagnosing or understanding autism.
