“…In the last two decades, a variety of computational methods have been developed to detect BCNs, e.g., General Linear Modeling (GLM), Graph Theory, Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and Sparse Dictionary Learning (SDL) (Andersen et al, 1999;Calhoun et al, 2001;Lee et al, 2011;Lee et al, 2016;Lv et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019). However, these methods are based on a 'shallow' framework that cannot identify in unsupervised data-driven fashion the hierarchical and spatially overlapping organization of BCNs using resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) or task-evoked fMRI (tfMRI) signals (Hu et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020).…”
