An age-dependent Connectivity-based computer aided diagnosis system for Autism Spectrum Disorder using Resting-state fMRI

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by repetitive behaviors and social interactions. Due to the problems of diagnosing ASD using behavioral symptoms by experts, it seems necessary to propose accurate computer aided diagnosis systems (CADS) for ASD. Recent studies have reported brain connectivity as an important biomarker of ASD. Several studies have also suggested the role of age as an important factor in the brain connectivity...
