Abstract	Our group is interested in developing mathematical models and tools for the application of novel machine learning techniques to the analysis of brain imaging data. We focus on the diagnosis and prognosis of psychiatric disorders and on understanding affective processing in normal and patients groups. In this talk we will describe the machine-learning framework we use for pattern recognition analysis of neuroimaging data. We will introduce the relevant clinical questions that can be addressed with this framework and briefly describe our current methodological developments to investigate these questions, such as new feature selection, multivariate brain mapping and generative embedding approaches. We will also present our recently developed software: Pattern Recognition for Neuroimaging Toolbox, aka PRoNTo. Slides for the talk: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
