[BIC-announce] Computational Psychiatry Seminar 28 Nov 9:30 am

[A. Dagher, Dr.]

Dr Frederike Petzschner from Brown University  will present a seminar on computational psychiatry tomorrow morning. This should be of interest to anyone who wonders about the applications of AI and computational neuroscience to psychiatry.

Abstract: 

In the rapidly evolving landscape of mental health treatment, the integration of artificial intelligence is bringing about a pivotal shift towards more effective and personalized care. This talk explores the burgeoning field of computational psychiatry, a novel approach that combines traditional psychiatric methods with advanced computational techniques. This fusion enhances our understanding and treatment of mental health disorders. I will elucidate the fundamental approaches of computational psychiatry, detailing its principles and the way it harnesses data-driven and mechanistic insights to demystify the complexities of mental health conditions. The focus will be on practical examples from the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and chronic pain, highlighting how computational psychiatry can offer new perspectives and solutions in these areas.
