Functional connectivity is a term used in neuroscience to describe the statistical relationship between physiological time series data, typically acquired from brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It refers to the temporal correlation of brain activity between different brain regions, indicating how these regions communicate and work together during different cognitive tasks or resting states. Functional connectivity is important for understanding brain networks, how they are organized, and how they contribute to various cognitive functions and behavior. This research area has yielded insights into neural processing, brain disorders, and potential therapeutic interventions.
