Project Title Project Title	Identifying endophenotypes for schizophrenia and autism: A support vector machine learning approach
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Lin, Ashleigh
Description Description	Schizophrenia and autism are mental health problems that often occur together. Despite this, little is known about the overlap between them and how to treat people who experience both. In this study, I will compare young adults with schizophrenia and autism using three measures of brain function. I plan to employ complex statistical analyses to better understand the similarities and differences between the disorders in order to improve diagnosis and treatment.
