ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present a statistical technique based on Jensen-Shanon divergence for detecting the regions of activity in fMRI images. The method is model free and we exploit the metric property of the square root of Jensen-Shannon divergence to accumulate the variations between successive time frames of fMRI images. Theoretically and experimentally we show the effectiveness of our algorithm.
