Abstract
Structural connectomics uses tractography for inferring the physical connections between brain regions. An issue of current tractography methods is their large false-positive rate, which makes them not reliable enough for assessing structural connectivity. An approach to deal with this problem is tractogram filtering in which anatomically implausible streamlines are discarded as a post-processing step after tractography. In this talk, I will first review the main approaches and methods that have been proposed in the literature for tractogram filtering and their limitations. Second, I will describe our efforts of using artificial intelligence for improving the accuracy of structural connectivity analyses. Finally, I will give a perspective on the main challenges for the development of new methods in this field in the next few years.
