abstract = {Personalized modeling of the resting-state brain activity
implies the usage of dynamical whole-brain models with
high-dimensional model parameter spaces. However, the
practical benefits and mathematical challenges originating
from such approaches have not been thoroughly documented,
leaving the question of the value and utility of
high-dimensional approaches unanswered. Studying a
whole-brain model of coupled phase oscillators, we proceeded
from low-dimensional scenarios featuring 2–3 global model
parameters only to high-dimensional cases, where we
additionally equipped every brain region with a specific
local model parameter. To enable the parameter optimizations
for the high-dimensional model fitting to empirical data, we
applied two dedicated mathematical optimization algorithms
(Bayesian Optimization, Covariance Matrix Adaptation
Evolution Strategy). We thereby optimized up to 103
parameters simultaneously with the aim to maximize the
correlation between simulated and empirical functional
connectivity separately for 272 subjects. The obtained model
parameters demonstrated increased variability within
subjects and reduced reliability across repeated
optimization runs in high-dimensional spaces. Nevertheless,
the quality of the model validation (goodness-of-fit, GoF)
improved considerably and remained very stable and reliable
together with the simulated functional connectivity.
Applying the modeling results to phenotypical data, we found
significantly higher prediction accuracies for sex
classification when the GoF or coupling parameter values
optimized in the high-dimensional spaces were considered as
features. Our results elucidate the model fitting in
high-dimensional parameter spaces and can contribute to an
improved dynamical brain modeling as well as its application
to the frameworks of inter-individual variability and
brain-behavior relationships.},
