Deep learning has been applied to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a variety of purposes, ranging from the acceleration of image acquisition and image denoising to tissue segmentation and disease diagnosis. Convolutional neural networks have been particularly useful for analyzing MRI data due to the regularly sampled spatial and temporal nature of the data. However, advances in the field of brain imaging have led to network- and surface-based analyses that are often better represented in the graph domain.

Most traditional methods for computing RSNs typically assume these functional networks are static throughout the duration of a scan lasting 5-15 min. However, they are known to vary on timescales ranging from seconds to years; in addition, the dynamic properties of RSNs are affected in a wide variety of neurological disorders.
