Understanding brain processes in psychosis to develop targeted treatments
Dysfunctional State Representations in Psychosis: From Neurophysiology to Neuroplasticity-based Treatment
This study is looking at how the brains of people with psychosis work and how they process information, with the goal of finding better, personalized treatments to help improve their lives.

What this research studies
This research investigates how the brain represents and processes information in individuals with psychosis. By using advanced computational models and studying both animal and human subjects, the project aims to identify the neural mechanisms that lead to disruptions in state representation. The findings could help in developing precision treatments tailored to individual cognitive profiles, potentially improving outcomes for those affected by psychosis.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with psychosis spectrum disorders.
Not a fit: Patients with psychosis who do not have measurable disruptions in state representation may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective, personalized treatments for individuals with psychosis.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in understanding cognitive disruptions in psychosis, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
