Computational Psychiatry - Dr Rick Adams (Future Leaders Fellow) - #13
Modelling the brain as a biological computer?!
Dr Rick Adams is a Consultant Psychiatrist, widely published researcher, and a Future Leaders Fellow in the UCL Department of Computer Science and Division of Psychiatry.
Rick is a leader in the field of Computational Psychiatry, a discipline applying computational methods to understanding psychiatric problems. He completed a PhD in this niche, and now runs a Computational Psychiatry Lab at UCL.
There aren’t many people in the world more qualified to discuss the potential for computational tools to transform mental health.
In this episode, we will cover:
- How we can model the brain as a biological computer
- The barriers to overcome in translating computational theory into clinical practice
- The technology that could be adopted immediately into his psychiatry clinic
Learn more about Rick's work on UCL's website.
