Computational Psychiatry is an emerging field at the intersection between Neuroscience and Psychiatry. The aim of this highly interdisciplinary field is to build models of the neural and cognitive processes that underpin psychiatric disorders. A major challenge of computational psychiatry is to bring together the expertise from different disciplines to create a common language that elucidates the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. With this conference, we aim to bring together experts and novices in the field of Computational Psychiatry, coming from Zurich and all over the world. We want to initiate an exchange between different disciplines to enhance mutual understanding, inspire the re-evaluation of research objectives, and kindle the beginning of novel collaborative projects.
