• Individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) show aberrant brain dynamics (i.e., altered recruitment or traversal through different brain states over time). Existing investigations of brain dynamics typically assume that one dominant brain state characterizes each time point. However, as multiple brain states likely are engaged at any given moment, this approach can obscure alterations in less prominent but critical brain states. Here, we examined brain dynamics in BD and SCZ by implementing a novel framework that simultaneously assessed the engagement of multiple brain states. Four recurring brain states were identified by applying nonlinear manifold learning and k-means clustering to the Human Connectome Project task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging data. We then assessed moment-to-moment state engagement in 2 independent samples of healthy control participants and patients with BD or SCZ using resting-state (N = 336) or task-based (N = 217) functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Relative state engagement and state engagement variability were extracted and compared across groups using multivariate analysis of covariance, controlling for site, medication, age, and sex. Our framework identified dynamic alterations in BD and SCZ, while a state discretization approach revealed no significant group differences. Participants with BD or SCZ showed reduced state engagement variability, but not relative state engagement, across multiple brain states during resting-state and task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging. We found decreased state engagement variability in older participants and preliminary evidence suggesting an association with avolition. Assessing multiple brain states simultaneously can reflect the complexity of aberrant brain dynamics in BD and SCZ, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the neural mechanisms underpinning these conditions.
