The study of brain connectivity is one of the main challenges when studying the active brain. Brain connectivity is operationally defined as the estimation of the relation between brain areas (regions of interest, ROIs, or Volumes of interest, VOIs); these relations are established when a specific cognitive task is being solved or when resting. In order to estimate the connectivity, different brain signals can be used, each of which has different neurofucntional properties. One of the signals showing great ability to represent the active brain is the BOLD signal, obtained when using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). What is registered is the modification of the magnetic field that takes place due to the increment of the presence of oxygen is certain brain areas when these are activated during a cognitive task. When the brain is resting, the signal shows the basal state used as a reference.
