Abstract: [Object] An object is to provide a brain activity analyzing method for realizing a biomarker using brain function imaging for neurological/mental disorders. [Solution] From data of resting-state functional connectivity MRI obtained by measuring groups of healthy subjects and patients, a correlation matrix of degrees of activities among prescribed brain regions is derived.

By sparse logistic regression (SLR) during Leave-One-Out Cross Validation of a first sum-set of elements of correlation matrix obtained as a result of feature extraction by a sparse regularized canonical correlation analysis, a second sum-set of elements of the correlation matrix is extracted. By discrimination analysis using sparse logistic regression on the second sum-set, a discriminator is generated.
