Fine Brain Functional Parcellation Based on t-Distribution Stochastic Neighbor Embedding and Automatic Spectral Clustering

In this paper, a new method for fine brain functional parcellation based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data was proposed. The method combines the t-distribution stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) and automatic spectral clustering (ASC) algorithms. First, correla...
