A growing number of researchers and clinicians are using machine learning methods to develop and validate tools for assisting the diagnosis and treatment of patients with brain disorders. Machine Learning: Methods and Applications to Brain Disorders provides an up-to-date overview of how these methods can be applied to brain disorders, including both psychiatric and neurological disease. This book is written for a non-technical audience, such as neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and health care practitioners.
- Provides a non-technical introduction to machine learning and applications to brain disorders
- Includes a detailed description of the most commonly used machine learning algorithms as well as some novel and promising approaches
- Covers the main methodological challenges in the application of machine learning to brain disorders
- Provides a step-by-step tutorial for implementing a machine learning pipeline to neuroimaging data in Python
Advanced students and researchers in behavioral neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, psychology and neurology
