  Over the past decade functional Magnetic Resonance
  Imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a powerful
  technique to locate activity of human brain while
  engaged in a particular task or cognitive state. We
  consider the inverse problem of detecting the cognitive
  state of a human subject based on the fMRI
  data. We have explored classification techniques
  such as Gaussian Naive Bayes, k-Nearest
  Neighbour and Support Vector Machines. In order
  to reduce the very high dimensional fMRI data, we
  have used three feature selection strategies. Discriminating
  features and activity based features
  were used to select features for the problem of
  identifying the instantaneous cognitive state given
  a single fMRI scan and correlation based features
  were used when fMRI data from a single time interval
  was given. A case study of visuo-motor sequence
  learning is presented. The set of cognitive
  states we are interested in detecting are whether the
  subject has learnt a sequence, and if the subject is
  paying attention only towards the position or towards
  both the color and position of the visual
  stimuli. We have successfully used correlation
  based features to detect position-color related cognitive
  states with 80% accuracy and the cognitive
  states related to learning with 62.5% accuracy.
