On the other hand, with the growing presence of magnetic resonance imaging devices in various medical centers, a large amount of functional magnetic resonance images of healthy and sick people have become available to researchers. In this study, our goal is to use a new method in the field of graphic modeling so that we can extract functional connectivity graphs from functional magnetic resonance images and measure the performance of these graphs in different groups of...
