The role of disorganised speech in psychosis

Abstract

Incoherent speech has emerged as a potential predictor of psychosis. Predicting psychosis risk from speech data could markedly improve healthcare for psychosis. In this talk, I will review existing tools for predicting psychosis risk from speech transcripts and introduce a new technique, which we developed based on graph theoretical measures.

The cerebellum holds most of the brain’s neurons, yet we still don’t know what it does for thought, language, or emotion. I build precise maps of it and use brain stimulation to find out.
