functional connectivity (IMAGE) The University of Hong Kong Caption The figure illustrates the effectiveness of functional connectivity, structural connectivity, and machine learning in predicting suicide risk, as measured by common assessments such as the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation, the SAD PERSONS Scale, and the Triggers of Suicidal Ideation Inventory. The vertical axis represents the predictive performance, with larger numbers indicating better performance. Bars marked with a star signify significant predictions. (The orange bars represent positive brain connectivity, indicating a stronger connection with higher suicide risk scores. On the other hand, the blue bars represent negative brain connectivity, indicating a weaker connection with higher suicide risk scores) Credit The University of Hong Kong Usage Restrictions N/A License Original content Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system.
