Predictive Model of Mental Disorders – Schizophrenia 

University of Alberta and IBM TJ Watson Research

Team:

  • Dr. Russ Greiner, Computing Science, University of Alberta
  • University of Alberta, Department of Psychiatry
  • IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights (Computational Biology), NY

Following the success of Phase 1, the project will continue to advance the analysis of fMRI brain data images with machine learning techniques to diagnose and predict schizophrenia.
