Diagnosis and Therapy of Psychiatric Disorders Based on Brain Dynamics
Mitsuo Kawato
2015 Invited Talk
Abstract
Arthur Winfree was one of the pioneers who postulated that several diseases are actually disorders of dynamics of biological systems. Following this path, many now believe that psychiatric diseases are disorders of brain dynamics. Combination of noninvasive brain measurement techniques, brain decoding and neurofeedback, and machine learning algorithms opened up a revolutionary pathway to quantitative diagnosis and therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders.
