Time-resolved instantaneous functional loci estimation (TRIFLE): Estimating time-varying allocation of spatially overlapping sources in functional magnetic resonance imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In functional magnetic resonance imaging, multivariate proxies of functional brain networks are commonly extracted using spatial independent component analysis. The theoretical premises of spatial overlap among functional processes and the time-varying nature of functional connectivity prompt the question of how to accurately model spatially overlapping and time-varying functional sources. Well-known functional networks have previously been shown to divide into spatially overlapping and functionally distinct subprocesses termed Temporal Functional Modes (TFM) using temporal independent component analysis on the time courses obtained via spatial independent component analysis. In this model, spatial and temporal modes of organisation interact through a single mixing matrix with fixed coefficients. Here, we introduce a time-resolved version termed Time-Resolved Instantaneous Functional Loci Estimation (TRIFLE) to estimate time-varying changes in source allocation. We analytically demonstrate that the originally fixed TFM mixing matrix can be expressed as the temporal average of a time-resolved mixing matrix, which in turn can be obtained in closed form and provides instantaneous estimates of brain network reconfigurations involved in distinct temporal functional modes. We apply TRIFLE to a high-temporal resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging dataset. We demonstrate that spatial source allocation aligns with expectations based on the experimental task design and that successful and unsuccessful trials have different allocation profiles. The proposed method sheds light on the temporal evolution of brain network reconfigurations while explicitly accounting for potential neuroanatomical overlap.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
