Our mission
The Laboratory of Precision Psychiatry is dedicated to the research focusing on improving the precision of the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. We aim to develop novel techniques for identifying objective biomarkers of psychiatric disorders and for understanding the pathophysiology of the mental illness.
Using multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis, which enables capturing complex dynamics of time series, we characterized MSE patterns of blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal across different time scales and determined whether BOLD activity in patients with …
Sleep disturbances are common in both clinical inpatient and outpatient populations. The Margret & H. A. Rey Institute for Nonlinear Dynamics in Medicine (ReyLab) and Dr. Robert Thomas at Harvard University have devised a new analysis utilizing surface ECG …
Fluctuation in epidemiological time series data usually consists of multiple periodic components which their cycles and trends need to be delineated and adjusted. However, conventional methods of time series decomposition require either predefined frequency…
Instantaneous heart rate in response to physiological perturbations often exhibits remarkable oscillations at multiple time scales. These oscillations, known as heart rate variability (HRV), are mainly mediated by the autonomic nervous system via parasympat…
Everyday life is full of information, ranging from items in newspapers or televised reports, to highway signs, to works of music and literature. A common underlying feature of the many different types of information-carrying entities is that they can be cod…
