Outline of Final Research Achievements	The functional networks are recognized as important as the functional modules in the information processing in the human brain. It is difficult to find out task-relevant functional networks from the finite datasets, because there are too many possible combinations to reject the null hypothesis. We therefore proposed the new method based on the model of information flow in the functional networks and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
