About the Talk
Computational psychiatry is reshaping our understanding of mental illness by integrating data-driven modeling with neurobiological insights. At the heart of this transformation lies brain imaging, which enables noninvasive, in vivo exploration of the brain's structure and function. Increasingly, AI is amplifying these capabilities, enabling the discovery of patterns invisible to traditional analysis. After contextualizing the burden of mental illness and the urgent need for more precise diagnostic tools, this talk examines the evolving role of brain imaging and AI in computational psychiatry, emphasizing their transformative promise, pitfalls and path forward.
Frontiers of BrainHealth is a hybrid speaker series. By registering for the season, you get a link to virtual talks as well as recordings. If you are interested in attending any talks in person, you can confirm in-person attendance when we send a reminder email a few days prior to each talk.

Andrew Michael, PhD, is director of analytics and informatics at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences at Duke University. His research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience, brain imaging, and data science, where he develops advanced analytic tools to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying brain function and dysfunction. In his current role, Dr. Michael leads interdisciplinary efforts to integrate cutting-edge MRI technologies and sophisticated analytic methodologies into both basic neuroscience and clinical research. He collaborates closely with neuroscientists at Duke University and clinicians at Duke Health.
Prior to joining Duke, Dr. Michael was the Founding Director and Principal Investigator of the Neuroimaging Analytics Laboratory at Geisinger, a nationally recognized healthcare system known for its innovation in data-driven medicine. At Geisinger, he also directed a newly installed MRI core for Brain Imaging Research. Dr. Michael holds a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Imaging Science. His undergraduate education was sponsored by a Government of India full scholarship at the National Institute of Technology. He completed his M.S. and Ph.D. at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.
We are located at 2200 West Mockingbird Lane Dallas, TX 75235
The entrance to the surface parking lot is on Forest Park Road. The talks will be held in the Brain Performance Institute building, the second building when you enter through the gate.
