Abstract: fMRI ( functional Magnetic Resonance imaging) is an efficient research method for brain imaging technique. In order to reduce the redundancy of the fMRI data and transform the fMRI data to the constructed features with more classification potential, a feature construction method based on the siamese network named as SANet(Siamese Network) is proposed. It engineered the brain regions features under multiple scanning points of an fMRI image. The improved AlexNet is used for feature engineering, and the incremental feature selection strategy is used to find the best feature subset for the encephalopathy prediction task. The effects of three different network structures and four classifiers on the SANet model are evaluated for their prediction efficiencies, and the ablation experiment is conducted to verify the classification effect of the incremental feature selection algorithm on the SANet features. The experimental data shows that the SANet model can construct features from the fMRI data effectively, and improve the classification performance of original features.
