Even at rest, the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal reflects systematic fluctuations in the regional brain activity that are attributed to the existence of resting-state brain networks. In many studies, it is assumed that these networks have a common spatially non-overlapping manifestation across subjects, defining a common brain parcellation. In this work, we propose an fMRI data generating model that captures the existence of the common brain parcellation and present a procedure for its estimation. At first, we employ generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis (gCCA) - a well-known statistical method, which can be used for the estimation of a common linear subspace - and recover the subspace that is associated with the common brain parcellation. Then, we obtain an estimate of the common whole-brain parcellation map by solving a semi-orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization (s-ONMF) problem. We test our theoretical results using both synthetic and real-world fMRI data. Our experimental findings corroborate our theoretical results, rendering our approach a very competitive candidate for multi-subject resting-state whole-brain parcellation.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/1040-10442020 28th European Signal Processing Conference Karakasis Paris Καρακασης Παρις Liavas Athanasios Λιαβας Αθανασιος Sidiropoulos Nikos Σιδηροπουλος Νικος Simos Panagiotis G.
