Graph theory is capable of describing complex networks, e.g.,
functional brain networks in abstract terms of nodes and edges. In
this paper following our recent study, we extracted resting state
fMRI (rs-fMRI) time series from both 264 cortical /sub-cortical
nodes and 90 AAL regions for two groups of 35 healthy and 25
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) participants. After constructing undirected
and unweighted graphs based on both Pearson Correlation (PC) and
Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) we investigated how
Community Structure (CS) changes considering MS. |

The 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) will take place in Milano, Italy, in the period August 25th-29th, 2015. It will be a remarkable event as it is the first time that Italy will host a conference of the world’s largest member-based scientific Society in Biomedical Engineering (BME): at the same time, it will be a unique opportunity to come in touch with the actual BME activities all over the world.
The Conference will take place in MiCo – Milano Congressi, recently rebuilt (2011) and located in downtown Milano. It is one of the largest conference facilities in Europe and worldwide, catering for up to 18,000 people in 70 or so fully appointed conference rooms |
