Summary: | The proposed research develops new computational tools to identify, diagnose, and predict treatment response for different mental illnesses. The research will first be applied to publicly available resting state fMRI BOLD data from patients with attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder and autism. It will also be applied to existing clinical and biological data concerning suicidality in the context of major depressive disorder. These disorders affect millions of Americans, but these tools can be applied to any mental illness, such as Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia – indeed to analyze differences in brain, clinical, and biological data between any two populations.
