The invention relates to a time-space diagram neural network
autism classification method based on dynamic function connection and dynamic effective connection
feature fusion, which can realize accurate classification of
autism by using resting state
functional magnetic resonance imaging data. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a dynamic function connection matrix and a dynamic effective connection matrix to respectively extract
brain network diagram characteristics, and under the guidance of a dynamic effective connection network, forming fused
brain network space-time connection characteristics by adopting a space-time fusion position Transform based on a cross attention mechanism; introducing a multi-layer
perceptron to extract high-order image features in the
brain network, embedding the high-order image features as node representation of a
population graph, constructing edges of the
population graph by using demographic information, realizing fusion of the magnetic
resonance image features and the demographic information, and finally learning node embedding through a graph convolutional network to obtain the demographic information of the
population graph. And
autism classification is realized based on a
linear classifier. Experimental results show that the provided method has excellent performance in autism diagnosis tasks, and the accuracy and robustness of diagnosis are remarkably improved.
