Title:
From Science Fiction to Science: My Life as a Computational Psychiatrist
Abstract:
In this talk I will attempt to "connect dots looking backwards" and share self-reflection on my career to date as both a computational researcher and a practicing psychiatrist.
To this end, I believe that recent advances in mobile and information technology will revolutionize the way we understand neurological and psychiatric disorders by enabling us to more passively and unobtrusively quantify their symptomatology out of the lab and in people's natural environment. To illustrate, I will introduce our recent work that seeks to unobtrusively turn smartphones into 'fitness trackers' for the brain.
