How is the functional connectomes represented by 116-by-116 matrices obtained？

Hello, how to obtain the functional connectomes represented by 116-by-116 matrices from the data in http://preprocessed-connectomes-project.org/abide/？ In other words, how to get data that can be used as GNN input？ The paper does not explain how the matrix of 116 times 116 is obtained.

Hi there,

You can directly download the data from: http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/fcpClassic/FcpTable.html

Thanks for pointing this out. We will add also this link to the paper.

Hi，what are the processing operations required for the data downloaded from this link to be directly used for training GNN?

No further processing of the data. You just get the connectivity matrices directly by downloading them.

However, we replaced all negative values in the connectivity matrices with zeros. This is a commonly adopted approach in functional brain connectivity analysis studies.
