Hodge-Laplacian of Brain Networks

15 Oct 2021  ·  D. Vijay Anand, Moo K. Chung ·

The closed loops or cycles in a brain network embeds higher order signal transmission paths, which provide fundamental insights into the functioning of the brain. In this work, we propose an efficient algorithm for systematic identification and modeling of cycles using persistent homology and the Hodge Laplacian. Various statistical inference procedures on cycles are developed. We validate the our methods on simulations and apply to brain networks obtained through the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The computer codes for the Hodge Laplacian are given in https://github.com/laplcebeltrami/hodge.
