Abstract:
During past several year huge sets of fMRI data were obtained within Human Connectome Project. Despite this, technologies for scalable analysis of large amounts of data are rarely used to analyze whole data set. Authors conducted virtual experiment on a large sample of data taken from the HCP to find the gender differences in functional connectivity. A review of methods for search for the functional connectivity is fulfilled. Further analysis of distributed use and scalability on large datasets of rfMRI data is provided with the discussion of existing libraries and suggestions of how to integrate them with a distributed system. As a result, the distributed architecture of the software based on the Apache Spark framework is developed. Being fairly complex, it includes ontology, conceptual schema and workflow. The results of this experiment may be of interest to neurophysiologists for further analysis.
