Current correlation-based approaches for resting-state networks measure average functional connectivity between regions over time, but this is not very meaningful if regions are part of multiple networks. One wants a network model that allows overlap, allowing a regions activity level to reflect one networks activity at some points in time and another networks activity at others. However, even approaches that do allow overlap have often maximised spatial independence, which may be suboptimal if networks have significant overlap. Here we identify functionally distinct networks by virtue of temporal independence, taking advantage of additional temporal richness via improvements in FMRI sampling rate.
