The Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at Virginia Tech is host to a fast-growing field, computational psychiatry, that applies the tools of computer science to psychiatry. The hope is that machine learning will lead to a more data-driven understanding of mental illness and help doctors find the most effective intervention for any given mental health disorder.
