contents Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is characterized by its complexity and high--dimensionality, encompassing signals from various regions of interests (ROIs) that exhibit intricate correlations. Analyzing fMRI data directly proves challenging due to its intricate structure. Nevertheless, ROIs convey crucial information about brain activities through their connections, offering insights into distinctive brain activity characteristics between different groups. To address this, we propose a cutting-edge interpretable fusion analytic framework that facilitates the identification and understanding of ROI connectivity disparities between two groups, thereby revealing their unique features. Our novel approach encompasses three key steps. Firstly, we construct ROI functional connectivity networks (FCNs) to effectively manage fMRI data. Secondly, employing the FCNs, we utilize a self--attention deep learning model for binary classification, generating an attention distribution that encodes group differences. Lastly, we employ a latent space item-response model to extract group representative ROI features, visualizing these features on the group summary FCNs. We validate the effectiveness of our framework by analyzing four types of cognitive impairments, showcasing its capability to identify significant ROIs contributing to the differences between the two disease groups. This novel interpretable fusion analytic framework holds immense potential for advancing our understanding of cognitive impairments and could pave the way for more targeted therapeutic interventions.
