NEW TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE (NEVER TREATED) SCHIZOPHRENIA PATIENTS!
Our team, led by outstanding PostDoctoral Fellow, Sunil Kalmady, used Machine Learning techniques to produce an important tool that uses a person's fMRI data to determine if s/he is a never-treated schizophrenia patient, versus a "healthy control". This result appeared in the prestigious Nature journal, npj Schizophrenia Check out the buzz -- in press articles from around the world

WE'RE ON GERMAN TV!
Our team, led by outstanding PostDoctoral Fellow, Sunil Kalmadi, used Machine Learning techniques to produce a novel method that learns a model that can use a person's fMRI data to predict if s/he is a never-treated schizophrenia patient, versus a "healthy control". This result appeared in the prestigious Nature journal, npj Schizophrenia
​
A story on this research was aired on the German national TV show "Nano" (channel 3Sat)
(Time: 21:50)
​
Also discussed in many other news articles, in Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, Hindi, … as well as many in English: https://comppsych.weebly.com/news.html
