Structural connectivity is among the most important constraints on a
network since it restricts and defines the sort of information that can be
processed. The functional responses of a voxel should therefore be strongly
influenced by its pattern of connectivity; correspondingly, patterns of
connectivity should be highly predictive of function. I will present the
use of anatomical connectivity to predict responses to faces in the
fusiform gyrus. I will then show how this can be generalized to the rest
of the brain, and for a variety of visual stimuli.
