Abstract: Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are debilitating psychiatric illnesses that can be challenging to diagnose accurately. The similarities between the diseases make it difficult to differentiate between them using traditional diagnostic tools. Recently, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) has emerged as a promising tool for the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. This paper presents several methods for differentiating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder based on features extracted from rsfMRI data. The system that achieved the best results, uses 1D Convolutional Neural Networks to analyze patterns of Intrinsic Connectivity time courses obtained from rsfMRI and potentially identify biomarkers that distinguish between the two disorders. We evaluate the system's performance on a large dataset of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and demonstrate that the system achieves a 0.7078 Area Under Curve (AUC) score in differentiating patients with these disorders. Our results suggest that rsfMRI-based classification systems have great potential for improving the accuracy of psychiatric diagnoses and may ultimately lead to more effective treatments for patients with this disorder.
