Happy to see this work published with @lena_pl - Negative psychosis symptoms are detectable via speech spectrograms & CNNs. nature.com/articles/s4427… thanks to our support (for Gleb Melshin with @MachGaensslen & for me @BBRFoundation) using @discourseinpsy data.
This was such a great day with inspiring talks and new ideas to work on 🧠🗣️Thank you for having us in beautiful #pavia #Italia @discourseinpsy
Last picture of an intense day of understanding psychosis through language and language through psychosis. Could we be more beautiful? #discourseday2024 @discourseinpsy #NEPLab @IussPavia
#discourseday2024 underway at the beautiful IUSS facilities in Pavia. Amazing talks from @discourseinpsy colleagues from all over the world. Making strides to understand, measure and improve speech, language and communication in psychosis.
On of the nicest things of science is to share results with international colleagues and become inspired by their findings. Best occasion for my team is @SIRSGlobal #sirs2024 youtu.be/nZUKmIDVXNY?si… via @YouTube
From the left and from the right: Pre-meeting dinner of the @discourseinpsy group in Pavia. Lots of interesting discussions about language in psychosis and lots of expectations for tomorrow's event! Program neplab.it/wp-content/upl… Zoom iusspavia.zoom.us/my/br.saladelc… #discourseday2024
Join us for the 2nd @discourseinpsy satellite meeting! We will discuss #language in #psychosis, #pragmatics, #computationalmodels, and much more. Mon 8th of April, from 9AM-6.30PM, organized by @IUSS and @SanRaffaeleMI Zoom link 👉iusspavia.zoom.us/my/br.saladelc…
Interesting conversations on Formal Thought Disorder going on with @AVoppel @STANGlab @FrederikeStein @lena_pl @TiloKircher @SIRSGlobal
Looking forward to presenting alongside Dr. Sreeraj, @AVoppel @FrederikeStein @lena_pl and Prof. Dr. Tilo Kircher!
Can speech patterns help us foresee an imminent relapse of psychosis? Our review of this idea, challenges and opportunities: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thanks to @FRQS1 @IRSC_CIHR SPOR @DouglasResearch @FdnDouglas + @AVoppel @AmelieAchim @CRISPDouglas1 @Shaltalk @discourseinpsy
Janna de Boer, phD cum laude and mum with passion. Looking forward to work together the next years. Well done woman!
Our new paper in @PsychiatryResJ shows that using Automatic Speech Recognition does not reduce classification accuracy based on a semantic NLP model in #Schizophrenia Thanks to @AVoppel, Prof.@IrisSommer4 and twitter-free colleagues! Full link ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.psyc…
Our lab is recruiting a new postdoc who will work on applying NLP to speech data acquired using a joint task (schizophrenia and controls).
Great talk by @bodyl_brand on Sex Influences on Antipsychotic Side Effects and Efficacy #SIRS2023
Happy to be at the Toronto @discourseinpsy meeting, about speech and psychosis with chairs @lena_pl and @STANGlab and many more amazing researchers!
