Motifs analysis-based indices to discover brain network architecture
Motifs are small recurring meso-scale structures characterizing real networks. Studies in literature investigated network motifs focusing only on their frequency spectrum. In the present work, we propose to study functional brain networks by means of motifs analysis, going beyond the identification of brain network-characterizing motifs. Indeed, we defined and implemented new indices based on motifs analysis and we applied this approach to better understand the architecture of brain networks after stroke.
