Brain space and time in mental disorders

What is it about?

Contemporary psychiatry faces serious challenges because it has failed to incorporate accumulated knowledge from basic neuroscience, neurophilosophy, and brain–mind relation studies. As a consequence, it has limited explanatory power, and effective treatment options are hard to come by.

Why is it important?

looking at psychiatric/mental problems as disturbances in the temporal and metastable structure of brain activity, where this temporal structure could be either more irregular (uncorrelated randomness) or more regular (excessive order) than normal, we believe that the future of neuropsychotherapy lies in its ability to design such therapeutic procedures (pharmaceutical compounds, psychosocial and behavioral interventions or devices such as transcranial magnetic stimulation) that can restore the normal temporal structure and metastable structure of brain activity.
