Learning site-invariant features of connectomes to harmonize complex network measures

Dec. 1, 2023—Figure 1. Previous research elucidated that connectomes suffer from confounding site effects. In this work we propose a data-driven model to learn disjoint site (𝑐 = {1,2}) and biological features (siteless z) for BIOCARD (orange) and VMAP (blue) (left). We then inject a prescribed site, c’, to the learned representations to compute harmonized connectome modularity,...
