Neuromathematical challenges to predicting psychosis onset in high-risk youths

NeuroMat research-team members have been involved in quantifying semantics as a means of understanding behavior and in a recent publication have tested automated speech analyses combined with machine learning processes to predict psychosis onset in youths at clinical high-risk for psychosis. NeuroMat members Guillermo Cecchi, from the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Sidarta Ribeiro, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Mauro Copelli, from the Federal University of Pernambuco, and colleagues have shown that speech features predicted later psychosis development with 100% accuracy. NeuroMat is the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP)’s Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) and was launched in 2013 to contribute to creating a mathematical framework for neuroscience.

On NeuroMat

NeuroMat is a research center established in 2013 at the University of São Paulo that is dedicated to integrating mathematical modeling and theoretical neuroscience. Among the core missions of NeuroMat are the creation of a new mathematical system to understanding neural data and the development of neuroscientific open-source computational tools. The research center is headed by Prof. Antonio Galves, from USP's Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, and is funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
