Complex networks and statistical inference methods for fMRI data analysis of human brain activity

In this talk we present the results of the analysis of fMRI data of human brain at rest, using different methods of complex network theory, ranging from maximum spanning tree, to percolation and allometry. This approach permits to detect a clear hierarchical functional organization of the human brain cortex and to detect significant difference in the organization between populations of normal individuals and schizophrenic patients.
