Events in context—The HED framework for the study of brain, experience and behavior
The brain is a complex dynamic system whose current state is inextricably coupled to awareness of past, current, and anticipated future threats and opportunities that continually affect awareness and behavioral goals and decisions. Brain activity is driven on multiple time scales by an ever-evolving flow of sensory, proprioceptive, and idiothetic experience. Neuroimaging experiments seek to isolate and focus on some aspect of these complex dynamics to better understand how human experience, cognition, behavior, and health are supported by brain activity. Here we consider an event-related data modeling approach that seeks to parse experience and behavior into a set of time-delimited events. We distinguish between event processes themselves, that unfold through time, and event markers that record the experiment timeline latencies of event onset, offset, and any other event phase transitions. Precise descriptions of experiment events (sensory, motor, or other) allow participant experience and behavior to be interpreted in the context either of the event itself or of all or any experiment events. We discuss how events in neuroimaging experiments have been, are currently, and should best be identified and represented with emphasis on the importance of modeling both events and event context for meaningful interpretation of relationships between brain dynamics, experience, and behavior. We show how text annotation of time series neuroimaging data using the system of Hierarchical Event Descriptors (HED; https://www.hedtags.org) can more adequately model the roles of both events and their ever-evolving context than current data annotation practice and can thereby facilitate data analysis, meta-analysis, and mega-analysis. Finally, we discuss ways in which the HED system must continue to expand to serve the evolving needs of neuroimaging research.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on the development and implementation of numerical/computational models and analytical tools used to share, integrate and analyze experimental data and advance theories of the nervous system functions. Specialty Chief Editors Jan G. Bjaalie at the University of Oslo and Sean L. Hill at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide.
Neuroscience is being propelled into the information age as the volume of information explodes, demanding organization and synthesis. Novel synthesis approaches are opening up a new dimension for the exploration of the components of brain elements and systems and the vast number of variables that underlie their functions. Neural data is highly heterogeneous with complex inter-relations across multiple levels, driving the need for innovative organizing and synthesizing approaches from genes to cognition, and covering a range of species and disease states.
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics therefore welcomes submissions on existing neuroscience databases, development of data and knowledge bases for all levels of neuroscience, applications and technologies that can facilitate data sharing (interoperability, formats, terminologies, and ontologies), and novel tools for data acquisition, analyses, visualization, and dissemination of nervous system data. Our journal welcomes submissions on new tools (software and hardware) that support brain modeling, and the merging of neuroscience databases with brain models used for simulation and visualization.
