BrainSTEAM: A Practical Pipeline for Connectome-based fMRI Analysis towards Subject Classification.

Functional brain networks represent dynamic and complex interactions among anatomical regions of interest (ROIs), providing crucial clinical insights for neural pattern discovery and disorder diagnosis. In recent years, graph neural networks (GNNs) have proven immense success and effectiveness in analyzing structured network data. However, due to the high complexity of data acquisition, resulting in limited training resources of neuroimaging data, GNNs, like all deep learning models, suffer from overfitting.
