APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING PSEUDO FMRI DATA

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method of generating virtual fMRI imaging data are provided to generate the virtual fMRI data capable of reflecting various brain function activation patterns according to the performance of an evaluated task paradigm. CONSTITUTION: A virtual fMRI data generation device (100) includes an actual fMRI data collection unit (110) which collects actual fMRI data obtained from a test subject in a rest state; a non-neural component extraction unit (120) which extracts non-neural components unrelated to brain function activation from the actual fMRI data; a brain function activation pattern generation unit (130) which generates a virtual brain function activation pattern based on an evaluated task paradigm; and a virtual fMRI data generation unit (140) which generates virtual fMRI data by composing the non-neural components and the brain function activation pattern.
