Recent studies have shown that the Magnetoen-cephalography (MEG) functional connectome is person-differentiable in a same-day recording with as little as 20 latent components, showing variability across synchrony measures and spectral bands. Here, we succeed with [Formula] components of the functional connectome on a multi-day dataset of 43 subjects and link it to related clinical applications. By optimizing sub-networks of [Formula] regions with 30 seconds of broadband signal, we find robust fingerprinting performance, showing several patterns of region re-occurrence. From a search space of 5.72 trillion, we find 46,071 of many more acceptable solutions, with minimal duplicates found in our optimization. Finally, we show that each of these sub-networks can identify 30 Parkinsons patient sub-networks from 30 healthy subjects with a mean F1 score of 0.716 {+/-} 0.090SD. MEG fingerprints have previously been shown on multiple occasions to hold patterns on the rating scales of progressive neurodegenerative diseases using much coarser features. Furthermore, these sub-networks may similarly be useful for identifying patterns across characteristics for age, genetics, and cognition.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
