abstract = {Dynamical whole-brain models originally provided a
biophysically-inspiredapproach to investigate the
relationship between the structural (SC) andfunctional (FC)
brain connectivity and are also used nowadays to studythe
dynamical regimes of the brain and how these relate to
various subjecttraits. Nevertheless, it is unclear how the
modeling results perform in termsof test-retest reliability
and subject specificity. We systematically assessthese
aspects of the modeling results and examine how they relate
tothe reliability and subject specificity of empirical
data.We used the empirical SC and FC matrices of 200 healthy
unrelated subjectsfrom the Human Connectome Project to build
individual models based on networksof neural mass models and
systems of coupled phase oscillators. The lattermodel used
region-specific natural frequencies extracted from empirical
datathat were either subject specific or the same for all
subjects to varythe extent of model personalization. The
models were simulated for a broadrange of parameter settings
to yield the simulated FC matrices exhibitingthe highest
correlation with the empirical FCs.We show that the
reliability of the simulated FC can exceed that of
theempirical one, especially, for the structural atlases and
for thepersonalized models. Also, the subject specificity of
the simulated FC mayoutperform that of the empirical one,
where the personalized phase oscillator modelwith
subject-specific frequencies generated FCs with a much
higher subject specificitythan the other, less personalized
modeling paradigms. In addition, the atlashas a larger
influence on the reliability and specificity of the
simulated FCthan on that of the empirical FC, where a
distinction between structurally- andfunctionally-derived
atlases can be made.Taken together, our results indicate
that whole-brain dynamical modelscan generate simulated
connectomes with high reliability and (subject)specificity
and may outperform the empirical data in this respect.In
turn, this suggests that these models potentially reduce the
variance inthe empirical FC across different realizations
for a single subject by providinga reliable model fit for
further analyses. We underline the critical roles thatthe
parcellation and model implementation have on the modeling
results. Ourfindings also suggest that the application of
the dynamical whole-brain modelingshould be tightly
connected with an estimate of the reliability of the
results.},
