Psychology Today | October 20, 2022


A new study published in Psychiatric Services by members of the BRiTE Center shows how AI natural language processing can detect cognitive disorders in texts as effectively as human clinicians. Authors include Justin Tauscher, PhD, MS, Ayesha Chander, MRes, Trevor Cohen, MBChB, PhD, FACMI, and Dror Ben-Zeev, PhD. The work was supported by an innovation grant from the Garvey Institute for Brain Health Solutions.
