OBJECTIVES: This study investigates whether abnormal neural oscillations, which have been shown to precede the onset of frank psychosis, could be used towards the individualised prediction of psychosis in clinical high-risk patients.
Functional connectivity (FC) patterns obtained from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data are commonly employed to study neuropsychiatric conditions by using pattern classifiers such as the support vector machine (SVM). Meanwhile, ...

Resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) is increasingly used for the identification of image biomarkers of brain diseases or psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia. This paper deals with the application of ensembles of Ext...
Schizophrenia stands for a long-lasting state of mental uncertainty that may bring to an end the relation among behavior, thought, and emotion; that is, it may lead to unreliable perception, not suitable actions and feelings, and a sense of mental fr...

Auditory hallucinations (AH) are a symptom that is most often associated with schizophrenia, but patients with other neuropsychiatric conditions, and even a small percentage of healthy individuals, may also experience AH. Elucidating the neural mecha...

OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning (ML) methodology based on features extracted from odd-ball auditory evoked potentials to identify neurophysiologic changes induced by Clozapine (CLZ) treatment in responding schizophrenic (SCZ) subjects. This ...

Identifying early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) at a very early stage remains challenging. To assess the diagnostic predictive value of multiple types of data at the emergence of early-onset first-episode psychosis (FEP), various suppo...
BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a noninvasive, cost-effective, and robust tool, which directly measures in vivo neuronal mass activity with high temporal resolution. Combined with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques, EEG rec...
IMPORTANCE: The diagnosis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is often delayed several years despite illness typically emerging in late adolescence or early adulthood, which impedes initiation of targeted treatment.
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Schizophrenia (SZ) is characterized by significant cognitive and behavioral disruptions. Neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been widely utilized to investigate biomarkers of SZ, dis...
