A Universal Space of Brain Dynamics for Unveiling Cognitive Transitions and Individual Differences
Representing dynamical systems through data-driven universal spaces has proven effective; however, achieving this universality for human brain activity remains a significant challenge, further aggravated by diverse cognitive states and individual subjects. Recognizing that spatial properties reflect physical wiring while temporal properties reflect brain function, we develop Universal Brain Dynamics (UBD) to construct a universal space tailored to brain activity and quantify corresponding dynamics using a model-derived Jacobian matrix. Crucially, we validate UBD's universality by accurately predicting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals (Pearson's r > 0.9) across eight states and 963 subjects in the Human Connectome Project (HCP). Through evaluating resting-state fMRI represented within UBD, we gain insight into how infra-slow fluctuation (ISF) underpins brain activity. Furthermore, we reveal a new perspective on structure-function coupling (SFC) by analyzing the temporal sequence of brain dynamics. Extending UBD to task-evoked states, we derive brain dynamics across various cognitive conditions, elucidating the neural mechanisms driving cognitive transitions at a finer granularity. For individual differences, we compare brain dynamics across subjects to identify the neural underpinnings of these variations. Our findings suggest that synergistically integrating spatial and temporal properties of brain activity establishes a universal space for its unfolding, enabling the precise numerical analysis of underlying neural mechanisms across varying conditions.
