This paper presents spatio-temporal modeling and analysis methods to fMRI data. Based on the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (NARX) model realized by the Bayesian radial basis function (RBF) neural networks, two methods (NARX-1 and NARX-2) are proposed to capture the unknown complex dynamics of the brain activities. Simulation results on both synthetic and real fMRI data clearly show that the proposed schemes outperform the conventional t-test method in detecting the activated regions of the brain.
