The claim says that how well this arrangement predicts behaviour depends on the method used to estimate it, and that MS-HBM did better than network size and other methods. If it holds, individual network layout could be a useful marker of differences in cognition, personality and emotion.","findings":["MS-HBM parcellations generalised better to new rs-fMRI and task-fMRI data from the same subjects than those from other approaches.","A single 10-minute rs-fMRI session with MS-HBM gave generalisability comparable to two state-of-the-art methods using five sessions (50 minutes).","Behavioural phenotypes across cognition, personality and emotion could be predicted from network topography with modest accuracy, comparable to predictions from connectivity strength."],"terms":[{"term":"network topography","means":"The location and spatial arrangement of a brain network across the cortex, as opposed to its size or connection strength."},{"term":"MS-HBM","means":"A multi-session hierarchical Bayesian model that estimates individual brain networks while separating variability within one person across sessions from variability between people."},{"term":"parcellation","means":"A division of the cortex into regions or networks, here estimated from brain imaging data."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"europepmc","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-10T11:32:10.679Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-10T11:32:10.679Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
