Pioneering Computational Psychiatry at USC.
Our Mission
The Psychiatry Research, Analytics & eXperimental Innovation Society (PRAXIS) exists to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and mental health. We believe the future of psychiatry lies in objective, computational phenotypes. Our mission is to equip the next generation of undergraduates with the mathematical, programming, and neurobiological tools to pioneer this transition.
