Abstract

A multi voxel pattern analysis classification framework suitable for neuroimaging data is introduced. The framework includes a novel feature extraction method that uses local modeling based on domain specific knowledge, and therefore, can produce better whole-brain global classification performance using a smaller number of features. In particular, the method includes spherical searchlights in combination with local SVM modeling. The performance of the framework is demonstrated on a challenging fMRI classification problem, and is found to be superior to the performance of state-of-the-art feature selection methods used in neuroimaging.
