abstract = {Confounding presents a major challenge in neuroimaging
machine learning applications. Confounderscan influence
both, brain-derived features and phenotypical targets1.
Removing theirsignal from the data changes the
feature-target relationship which ultimately affects the
model interpretation.Additionally, confounders are not
always straightforward to identify. To target this,we
introduce the idea of a 2D Confound Continuum (CC). Its
ordinate evaluates the strength ofthe statistical
relationship between a confound and the feature(s)/target,
thereby helping to betterunderstand its signal contributions
to the data (statistical CC). Its abscissa defines the
strength ofthe conceptual or biological relationship and
hence the effects of removal on the model
interpretation(conceptual CC). Sorting potential confounders
within the CC can help to better understandtheir role and
impact on building predictive models.},
