We analyzed data from the intervention group of a randomized controlled trial with a total of 100 participants who used ReApp for three weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • This study used machine learning to classify subtypes of schizophrenia by analyzing brain images from over 4,000 patients and healthy individuals through international collaboration.* -
  • Researchers identified two neurostructural subgroups: one with predominant cortical loss and enlarged striatum, and another with significant subcortical loss in areas like the hippocampus and striatum.* -
