Functional connectivity (FC)-based neural fingerprinting is an approach that promises to identify and/or differentiate subjects within a cohort on the basis of the patterns of statistical dependencies between time series recorded mostly if not always noninvasively, with electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The message is that brain activity is what differentiates subjects, or what makes a neural fingerprint "unique". In EEG- and MEG-derived FC fingerprinting, the activity recorded at the sensors is usually projected back into cortical sources by means of an inverse model depending on head and brain shapes, sensor locations, and tissue conductivity, and further reduced in dimension to obtain time series of regional activity, used to compute FC. We think that the role of the head model in fingerprinting has been so far dismissed by means of suboptimal or incomplete tests. Here we employed a set of experiments aimed to decouple recorded activity and head model for each subject, and we found that the head model has a strong influence on both identification and differentiation.

"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.
