In the context of a new ERC Synergy project (DELTA-LANG), our lab (https://homanlab.github.io/blog/2023/10/27/ercsynergy/) is interested in novel ways of phenotyping psychotic disorders, including quantitative analysis of language with large language models, combined with multimodal neuroimaging (model-based fMRI, neuromelanin imaging and others). The goal is to design and implement novel paradigms (e.g. combined fMRI and speech production) and use methods such as machine learning, multilevel analyses and computational modeling to decompose behavioral performance into interpretable aspects of cognitive and perceptual processing.
