Abstract

The Internet is one of the largest artificial network in the world, and it is desired to make the large-scale complex Internet into higher quality. Clues to the high quality can be found in human brain functional networks (BFNs) that show various functions at high level. In this paper, we analyze the topological structure and reveal advantages of BFNs from communication network perspective. Results of analysis show that BFNs have properties of fractality and disassortativity, and many superior paths at module-level topology.

Keywords: brain functional networks fractal internet topological structure communication quality
