Cant wait for this - the artwork gives a beautiful insight into how different minds work, from extremely literal to impossibly abstract.

To give our participants more agency we’ll be hearing from them directly,
including non speaking people, and professional artists.

Transforming psychiatry with computational and brain-based methods - Nature Computational Science
Integrating computational methods with brain-based data presents a path to precision psychiatry by capturing individual neurobiological variation, improving diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized care. This Viewpoint highlights advances in normative and foundation models, the importance of clinically grounded principles, and the role of robust measurement and interpretability in progressing mental health care.
