Neuroimaging in Psychiatry
Focus of research
The aims of my research are to understand the neural mechanisms underlying the development and treatment of psychiatric disorders, and to develop neuroimaging biomarkers for treatment response. I therefore investigate how biological and psychological factors that are associated with psychiatric vulnerability affect the brain, how successful treatment outcome can be predicted, and how it normalizes brain function. To address these questions, I use stress manipulations and various treatment approaches including neurostimulation (deep brain stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy), pharmacology (antidepressants), and psychotherapy, in combination with noninvasive neuroimaging techniques and machine learning methods.
