CIC Lecture - David Benrimoh

Talk title: Imaging for Deriving Computationally-informed targets for rTMS in Psychosis Risk: Opportunities from the ProNET Dataset Dr. David Benrimoh delivered this talk as part of the CIC Lecture Series at the Douglas Research Centre on Feburary 26th, 2025. David is a neuropsychiatrist at McGill. He completed a MSc in Neuroscience at UCL and a second MSc in Psychiatry at McGill working with Dr. Simon Ducharme on transdiagnostic imaging in psychosis. At McGill, Dr. Benrimoh leads the McGill Center for Computational Psychiatry and Translation (McPsyt). This project will focus on Computational Psychiatry as a unifying framework to tie together neurobiological, cognitive, clinical, social, and societal levels of explanation of psychiatric illness to develop improved mechanistic understanding of these illnesses, as well as predictive models. The center will develop and test novel treatments aimed at reducing the severity, incidence, and burden of psychiatric disease. We will also use digital mental health tools as mechanisms for the collection of data and delivery of interventions. Their current focus is in understanding early psychosis.
