Official Title:

Discovering prognostic neuroimaging biomarkers of the psychosis spectrum using network control theory

This project will test the hypothesis that the cortical excitatory-inhibitory balance regulates how closely to a critical state the brain operates, and thereby how sensitive people are to effort costs. In so doing, the project will also re-examine the effects of common transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols on cortical excitability with respect to critical, sub-critical, and super-critical dynamics.
