Direct machine learning reconstruction of respiratory variation waveforms from resting state fMRI data in a pediatric population
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In many functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, respiratory signals are unavailable or do not have acceptable quality due to issues with subject compliance, equipment failure or signal error. In large databases, such as the Human Connectome Projects, over half of the respiratory recordings may be unusable. As a result, the direct removal of low frequency respiratory variations from the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal time series is not possible. This study proposes a deep learning-based method for reconstruction of respiratory variation (RV) waveforms directly from BOLD fMRI data in pediatric participants (aged 5 to 21 years old), and does not require any respiratory measurement device. To do this, the Lifespan Human Connectome Project in Development (HCP-D) dataset, which includes respiratory measurements, was used to both train a convolutional neural network (CNN) and evaluate its performance. Results show that a CNN can capture informative features from the BOLD signal time course and reconstruct accurate RV timeseries, especially when the subject has a prominent respiratory event. This work advances the use of direct estimation of physiological parameters from fMRI, which will eventually lead to reduced complexity and decrease the burden on participants because they may not be required to wear a respiratory bellows.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
