| Abstract(in English) | We investigated differences in corpus callosum shapes at the midsagittal plane using MRI for different subjects: normal males, normal females, and subjects with gender identity disorder (GID). We first represented callosal shapes using Fourier descriptors. Using linear support vector machines (SVM) with soft-margin, we subsequently discovered a measure that can distinguish normal males and females optimally: the measure has prominent sex-related difference. We further showed that values of the measure for GID more closely resembled those for those subjects' psychological sex, i.e. gender, than their physical sex. We concluded that the measure found in this study has no sex-related differences, but does have gender-related differences, but does have gender-related differences. |
