Graph Signal Processing (GSP) is a promising framework to analyze\nmulti-dimensional neuroimaging datasets, while taking into account both the\nspatial and functional dependencies between brain signals. In the present work,\nwe apply dimensionality reduction techniques based on graph representations of\nthe brain to decode brain activity from real and simulated fMRI datasets. We\nintroduce seven graphs obtained from a) geometric structure and/or b)\nfunctional connectivity between brain areas at rest, and compare them when\nperforming dimension reduction for classification. We show that mixed graphs\nusing both a) and b) offer the best performance. We also show that graph\nsampling methods perform better than classical dimension reduction including\nPrincipal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA).\n
