Description

The aim of computational psychiatry is to describe the relationship between the brain’s neurobiology, its environment, and mental symptoms in computational terms. By identifying these relationships, the psychiatric classification and the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness may be improved. Machine learning and graph theory techniques are among the promising methods for characterizing large-scale brain networks, based on functional and structural measures. This presentation will help learners to understand how to apply an integrated physical and mental health care approach to postdeployment care.
