Zoe Kourtzi: AI for Better Brain and Mental Health

In this talk, Professor Zoe Kourtzi, an expert in experimental psychology and computational cognitive neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, explores how AI and machine learning are transforming brain and mental health diagnostics. Focusing on the challenges in diagnosing and treating dementia, Professor Kourtzi highlights how AI models can make early, interpretable predictions to improve patient outcomes. By integrating data from multiple sources like MRI scans, blood markers, and cognitive tests, AI offers a path towards more efficient clinical trials, cost-effective treatments, and personalized care. This talk delves into the role of AI in tackling the global mental health crisis and improving brain health interventions.
