   abstract = {Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be used to indicate language-related cortex by highly
               focal temporary inhibition. Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) reconstructs fiber tracts that connect
               specific cortex regions. We present a novel machine learning approach that predicts a functional
               classification (TMS) from local structural connectivity (DSI), and a formal statistical hypothesis
               test to detect a significant relationship between brain structure and function. Features are chosen
               so that their weights in the classifier provide insight into anatomical differences that may
               underlie specificity in language functions. Results are reported for target sites systematically
               covering Broca's region, which constitutes a core node in the language network.}
