The neuroimaging network paradigm has gained a lot of traction in recent years as a framework
for understanding cognition. However the existing tools such as correlation matrices, graph
analysis methods and time-varying connectivity have bumped into their limits. Consequently
the network paradigm is a very long way from achieving its potential. In particular, currently,
there are no mature answers to basic questions of: biomarker development ; reliable
individual network construction (crucial for the development of imaging based personalised
medicine); construction and validity of time-varying networks and relating information across
modalities.
Thus now is a perfect moment time to present to junior scholars, a selection of major emerging
techniques that go beyond the current limits. In each case a domain expert will explain the
basics of the new methods, illustrate with preliminary results and outline challenges for the
future.
