Abstract
How behavior arises from brain physiology has been one central topic of investigation in neuroscience. Considering the recent interest in predicting behavior from brain imaging using open datasets, there is the need for a principled approach to the categorization of behavioral variables. However, this is not trivial, as the definitions of psychological constructs and their relationships-their ontology-are not always clear. Here, we propose to use exploratory factor analysis (EFA) as a data-driven approach to find robust and interpretable domains of behavior in the Human Connectome Project (HCP) dataset. Additionally, we explore the clustering of behavioral variables using consensus clustering. We find that four and five factors offer the best description of the data, a result corroborated by the consensus clustering. In the four-factor solution, factors for Mental Health, Cognition, Processing Speed, and Substance Use arise. With five factors, Mental Health splits into Well-Being and Internalizing. Clustering results show a similar pattern, with clusters for Cognition, Processing Speed, Positive Affect, Negative Affect, and Substance Use. The factor structure is replicated in an independent dataset using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). We discuss how the content of the factors fits with previous conceptualizations of general behavioral domains.
