Dr. Martin Paulus, Scientific Director and President of the Laureate Institute for Brain Research, will present, Using Translational Paradigms to Identify “At-Risk” Populations: Sign and Goal Tracking
Dr. Paulus’ research focuses on three main areas:
- Using neuroimaging to develop predictive biomarkers for anxiety disorders and addictive disorders.
- Using computational psychiatry to better quantify the behavioral dysfunctions in individuals with mood, anxiety, and addictive disorders.
- Develop a research pipeline that enable one to translate basic neuroscience discoveries into clinically useful tools.
