This invention provides an apparatus, method, and storage medium for assessing schizophrenic tendency based on near-infrared data. The apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire near-infrared data of a subject; process the near-infrared data and convert the processed near-infrared data into a test image; input the test image into a classification model to obtain a classification result for the subject, wherein the classification result indicates the subject's tendency to be either healthy or schizophrenic. This invention normalizes near-infrared data based on a preset data set formed by fusing second data sequences from multiple healthy subjects and multiple schizophrenic individuals. This avoids the loss of brain activation information caused by normalization at different scales, resulting in higher accuracy when the classification model classifies the test image converted from the normalized near-infrared data.

A method for mapping functionally related brain regions of a subject. The method includes receiving a structural brain image and a dataset of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) three-dimensional (3D) image frames of a brain of the subject includes 3D image frames of the subject's brain over time. A functional connectivity map identifying groupings of functionally connected voxels is overlaid on the structural brain image. Spontaneous brain activations associated with each voxel in a grouping of functionally connected voxels are time-correlated with spontaneous brain activations in one or more other voxels in the grouping of functionally connected voxels. A reference location map for a pre-defined resting state network is generated, including reference information output. The reference location map includes brain reference locations that are informative of the one or more resting-state networks to assist a user in identifying the resting state network of the functional connectivity map.
