Claim Text:
1. A method for real-time functional-MRI connectivity analysis, the method comprising: a processor of a computer system receiving a sequential time series of brain volumes recorded during a first time period, the processor deriving an average intensity of each region of the set of three-dimensional regions in each received brain volume; the processor generating a set of time courses as a function of the deriving, wherein each course of the set of time courses is associated with one associated region of the set of three-dimensional regions and identifies a time-varying change in an average intensity of the one associated region during the first time period; and the processor detecting a correlation between a first region of the set of three-dimensional regions and a second region of the set of three-dimensional regions during the first time period, as a function of a first time course of the set of time courses associated with the first region and a second time course of the set of time courses associated with the second region.
