ABSTRACT
Dynamic models of ongoing BOLD fMRI brain dynamics and models of communication strategies have been two important approaches to understanding how brain network structure constrains function. However, dynamic models have yet to widely incorporate one of the most important insights from communication models the brain may not use all of its connections in the same way or at the same time. Here we present a variation of a phase delayed Kuramoto coupled oscillator model that dynamically limits communication between nodes on each time step. An active subgraph of the empirically derived anatomical brain network is chosen in accordance with the local dynamic state on every time step, thus coupling dynamics and network structure in a novel way. We analyze this model with respect to its fit to empirical time-averaged functional connectivity, finding that, with the addition of only one parameter, it significantly outperforms standard Kuramoto models with phase delays. We also perform analyses on the novel time series of active edges it produces, demonstrating a slowly evolving topology moving through intermittent episodes of integration and segregation. We hope to demonstrate that the exploration of novel modeling mechanisms and the investigation of dynamics of networks in addition to dynamics on networks may advance our understanding of the relationship between brain structure and function.
