11th Annual Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium

Computational Psychiatry: From Mental Circuits to Mental Illness

The 11th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium will take place at the Michigan League Ballroom and via Zoom on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25, 2023. The theme of the symposium is "Computational Psychiatry: From Mental Circuits to Mental Illness."

Psychiatry has long emphasized lists of signs and symptoms for categorizing, diagnosing, and treating mental disorders. However, the inner workings of the mind/brain that produce and explain these signs and symptoms have remained obscure. The 2023 Weinberg Symposium examines “Computational Psychiatry”, an upstart field that aims to revolutionize psychiatry by addressing this gap. Theorists in this new field build computational models that explain in a step-by-step way how the mind/brain performs key mental functions, and they then demonstrate how signs and symptoms of mental disorders arise from altered “parameter settings” of these models. The Symposium features five leading theorists in computational psychiatry who will present their latest research on topics including delusional belief in schizophrenia and negativity bias in depressive disorders. The Symposium offers a chance to hear about the promise (as well as the pitfalls) of computational psychiatry—a field that has the potential to transform the way we understand mental illness.
