Fig. 2. The edge communities can be predicted from the nFC under the static Gaussian null model.

a Empirical edge communities obtained by k-means clustering of the eFC computed on the HCP dataset. The edge labels are reshaped into an NxN matrix where each (i, j) entry represents the community label of the edge linking i to j. For each edge, the representative community assignment shown here is the statistical mode (i.e., the most common label) across 100 HCP subjects. b Predicted edge communities obtained by k-means clustering of the eFC predicted by the static null model. The agreement with the empirical labels in panel a is exact on 84% of all 19900 edges (74% if GSR is applied). c Empirical edge cluster similarity on the HCP dataset. The similarity of edge communities involving nodes i and j is computed as the fraction of matching elements between the corresponding two rows of the edge community matrix in panel a. d Predicted edge cluster similarity based on the static null model. The Pearson correlation with the empirical edge cluster similarity in panel c is r = 0.96 (r = 0.95 if GSR is applied).
