To evaluate the effectiveness of k-means clustering for identifying dynamic functional connectivity states in temporal lobe epilepsy and healthy controls.
Participants included subgroups of temporal lobe epilepsy (left, right, and bilateral) and healthy controls.
Dynamic functional connectivity analyses were performed using k-means clustering with k varying from 2 to the number of participants.
Statistical analyses included elbow and silhouette methods for optimal clustering evaluation.
Clustering primarily reflected individual-specific functional connectivity patterns rather than group-level states.
Participants' states showed a near one-to-one correspondence with their static functional connectivity matrices.
State occupancy analysis demonstrated prolonged engagement in a single dominant state with limited evidence for shared dynamic transitions.
