Research Synopsis
Dr. Andreea Diaconescu is a cognitive and computational neuroscientist, with particular interest in mathematical modelling of maladaptive behaviour and whole-brain dysconnectivity in psychiatric populations. At the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (CAMH) she leads the “Cognitive Network Modelling” team focused on developing, validating, and applying hierarchical Bayesian models that infer individual-specific disturbances of information processing in neuronal circuits from behaviour, brain imaging and electrophysiological data. These “neurocomputational assays” are used to address concrete clinical problems in psychiatry.
