PSYCH 024: Computational Modelling Approaches to Psychiatry
Psychiatry often deals with processes that cannot be directly observed - beliefs, predictions, learning, and perception. Computational psychiatry offers a way to formalise these processes, translating them into models that can be tested, refined, and understood.
In this episode, we explore how mathematical and computational frameworks are used to describe how the brain processes information. Concepts such as prediction, uncertainty, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian inference provide a language for understanding cognition and behaviour.
We examine how the brain can be conceptualised as a…
