Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC are partnering with the USC Center for Neurotechnology, part of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, to utilize neural imaging, brain-computer interfaces and medical knowledge to develop game-changing therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depression.

The team is currently working to objectively characterize major depression symptoms using multiple measurable signals. Their research combines inputs from electrical activity in the brain, physiological responses and behavioral indicators. Success could yield a real-time readout of how depression treatment is working, enabling clinicians to personalize therapy and expedite lifesaving help.
