Abstract

This paper provides a Bayesian method of 
analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. 
Usually fMRI signals are noisy and need efficient algorithms to 
estimate or detect the signals accurately. Using a Bayesian 
frame work we have used two different priors: sparsity and 
clusterdness in the fMRI data by using a general linear model 
(GLM), which is used as a main tool in fMRI studies. This 
enhances the effectiveness of the model to help analyze the data 
better. So in this work we have built the Bayesian framework 
needed first. Then, we have applied our analysis on synthetic 
data that we made and that are well known, and the results 
show that clustered compressive sampling has given better 
results compared to the using of only sparse prior and/ or to the 
analysis without considering the two priors. Later we have 
applied it on fMRI data and the results are much better in terms 
of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and intensity of images
