Clinical researchers, neuroscientists, and practitioners interested in computational psychiatry and Active Inference.
Developing a theoretical Active Inference account of belief updating processes in post-traumatic stress disorder.
Lead: Jeremy Cooper
This Ecosystem project develops a formal Active Inference account of belief updating in PTSD. It applies predictive processing and free energy frameworks to model how traumatic experience disrupts normal belief updating, offering a principled theoretical basis for understanding and potentially treating PTSD.
The project writes theory and develops models showing how Active Inference principles illuminate the belief updating processes disrupted in PTSD. This computational psychiatry approach connects formal neuroscience with clinical relevance. It draws on a qualitative dissertation study of how individuals maintain versus change their beliefs under the impact of PTSD, and is led by Jeremy Cooper.
Researchers in clinical neuroscience, psychiatry, and computational modeling are welcome.
