Functional MRI Time Series Generation via Wavelet-Based Image Transform and Spectral Flow Matching for Brain Disorder Identification

arXiv:2605.30387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides non-invasive access to dynamic brain activity by measuring blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals over time. However, the resource-intensive nature of fMRI acquisition limits the availability of high-fidelity samples required for data-driven brain analysis models. While modern generative models can synthesize fMRI data, they often remain challenging in replicating their inherent non-stationarity, intricate spatiotemporal dynamics, and physiological variations of raw BOLD signals. To addre
