TL;DR: Hybrid Dynamic High-Order Functional Correlations and Divisive Normalization for Psychosis Classification
Abstract: Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are devastating psychiatric disorders that can be difficult to adequately classify, considering commonalities that make it difficult to distinguish between them using conventional classification approaches based on low-order functional connectivity. Recently, high-order functional connectivity has emerged as a promising method for diagnosing psychiatric illnesses, and this research applied multiple strategies for distinguishing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder using features taken from dynamic high-order functional connectivity and divisive normalization. The approach that produced the greatest results combined dynamic high-order functional correlations and divisive normalization to examine patterns of intrinsic connection time courses collected from resting-state fMRI. Our findings indicate that resting-state fMRI-based dynamic high-order functional connectivity and feature enhancement through divisive normalization classification hold significant promise for improving the accuracy of psychiatric diagnoses. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to integrate divisive normalization with functional connectivity in fMRI.
