Applying arti cial intelligence to identify

schizophrenia
BY TIM SANDLE JUL 21, 2017 IN HEALTH LISTEN | PRINT

Identifying the neuroimaging-based patterns which may offer clues for

schizophrenia is complex. This task could be made easier thanks to developments
with arti cial intelligence.

failure to understand what is real. A combination of genetic and environmental

factors are considered to play a role in the development of schizophrenia.
Symptoms of schizophrenia are divided into positive and negative. Positive
symptoms include experiencing things that are not real (hallucinations) and
having unusual beliefs (delusions); whereas negative symptoms include may be a
lack of motivation and being withdrawn. They often last longer than positive
symptoms.

markers. To construct the predictive model functional network feature patterns

were collected from functional magnetic resonance images of the brain.

For the research the scientists used IBM arti cial intelligence to analyze images
from 95 subjects. The participants were divided into two groups. The rst group

was the control group and the second group, the test group, was composed of
people diagnosed with schizophrenia. By measuring the connectivity of each Prostatitis

percent of the time.

From this the researchers concluded that this multi-step methodology can help to
identify more reliable multivariate patterns going forwards, which will allow for
accurate prediction of schizophrenia and the symptoms severity. Painful urination torments you.No

The research has been published in the journal Nature. The paper is titled
Learning stable and predictive network-based patterns of schizophrenia and its
clinical symptoms.

For those interested in research into schizophrenia, a companion article looks at

recent research to test whether there is a biological explanation for the condition.
