Figure 1: Fitting the pairwise MEM to fMRI data.
From: A pairwise maximum entropy model accurately describes resting-state human brain networks

(a,b) Resting-state BOLD signals are extracted from anatomically defined regions (a) and binarized (b). (c) If the pairwise MEM is accurately fitted to the binarized data, the estimated probability distribution of the network state will resemble the empirical distribution (top). The pairwise MEM also provides an interaction matrix (bottom).
