Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental in section 5 we present experimental results using high resolution in vivo datasets; Here, we validate our theoretical findings by using d MRI data from subjects in a public source (the Stanford dataset [32]).

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 : y = M_times_w(Φ,D,w); Algorithm 2 : w = Mtransp_times_y(Φ,D,y)
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a direct link to the source code for the methodology described, nor does it state that the code is available in supplementary materials or upon request.
Open Datasets Yes Here, we validate our theoretical findings by using d MRI data from subjects in a public source (the Stanford dataset [32]). The Human Connectome Project dataset [45]
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using 'd MRI data from subjects in a public source (the Stanford dataset [32])' and 'Human Connectome Project dataset [45]' but does not provide specific details on how these datasets were split into training, validation, and test sets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware (e.g., GPU models, CPU types, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like MATLAB [19] and a NNLS algorithm [22], but does not provide specific version numbers for these or other key software components.
Experiment Setup Yes We performed tractography using these data and both, probabilistic and deterministic methods, in combination with Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (CSD) and the diffusion tensor model (DTI) [41, 17, 5]. We generated candidate connectomes with Nf = 500, 000 fascicles per brain brain. ... Nθ = 96 (STN96, five subjects) and Nθ = 150 (STN150, one subject) directions with b-value b = 2, 000s/mm2. ... we fixed L = 360 and computed the model size for both, Li FE and Li FESD, as a function of the number of gradient directions Nθ (Fig. 4(c)) and fascicles Nf (Fig. 4(d)).
