Individual Differences: A Theory of Measurements


We proposed a theoretical framework refining the concepts of reliability and validity in connecting  the classical measurement theory with individual variability [1]. Science has the mission to fill the gap from reliability to validity.

CoRR: Theory Comment

Image
Neuroscientists are amassing the large-scale datasets needed to study individual differences and identify biomarkers. However, measurement reliability within individual samples is often suboptimal, thereby requiring unnecessarily large samples. We focus our comment on reliability in neuroimaging and provide examples of how the reliability can be increased.  Read more:  https://t.co/LlshxZXEqy?amp=1 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-019-0655-x A framework on measurement reliability

A Time of Computational Neuroscience Coming

Image
Today is the first day of 2010. I closed reading an excellent review paper " Computational and dynamic models in neuroimaging " which was in press in NeuroImage. In this review, from a perspective of mathematical modeling, Dr. Friston summarized those efforts on modeling brain's function and biophysics, which have extensively enriched the neuroimaging data exploration. Of particular importance, computational neuroscience now is tending to unify the resting-state and stimulus-invoked brain, which is an extremely important transition of neuroimaging research to go beyond understanding the human brain whatever rest or task involved. We can predict, in the future (e.g., see 2010 :), that the mining schemes from computational neuroscience, machine leaning and game theory will become pretty strong for both brain mechanism and prediction. In practice, two things might attract researchers: to develop a unify measure on brain dynamic, which means that the relevant measures shou

CoRR: Perspective and Data Papers

Image
The Consortium for Reliability and Reproducibility (CoRR) is working to establish test-retest reliability as a minimum standard for methods development in functional connectomics. Specifically, CoRR has aggregated 1,629 typical individuals’ resting state fMRI (rfMRI) data (5,093 rfMRI scans) from 18 international sites. To allow researchers to generate various estimates of reliability and reproducibility, a variety of data acquisition procedures and experimental designs are included. This enables users to assess the impact of commonly encountered artifacts on characterizations of inter-individual variation, datasets of varying quality are included.
