Research project description The PhD project will be embedded within the HEurope GreenME project (September 2023-August 2027). All supervisors are involved in the project, which is coordinated by H. Cole and M. Triguero-Mas. GreenME aims to explore ways in which green care can be scaled-up to enhance equity in adult mental health and wellbeing, while […]
Research project description PhD will investigate how can be used the neuroimaging and personality traits in the study of pathology with chronic pain, resistant to conventional treatments, or in drug-resistant depression. Neuroimaging, in recent years, has provided relevant information about the neurobiology of different mental health disorders or problems. These data have been related to […]
Research project description PhD will investigate intervention in youth at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. Early intervention in youth at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis is highly effective in preventing, delaying, or mitigating the impact of a chronic psychotic disorder. It is important to note that not all youth at CHR (approximately ⅓) […]
Research project description PhD will investigate around burden of the caregivers of patients receiving Intensive home-treatment. Intensive home-treatment (IHT) has become one of the trendier strategies in some European countries to prevent acute hospitalization of patients suffering from an acute mental illness. This intervention provides daily treatment at home by a multidisciplinary team for those […]
Research project description PhD will investigate the digital transition in mental health care by preventing suicidal behavior in different population groups. Suicide is currently the leading external cause of mortality in Europe and one of the main causes of premature death. The study of factors that may contribute to the detection of individuals at higher […]
Research project description PhD will investigate strategies for prevention, follow-up and management of the Post Intensive Care Syndrome sequelae, considering the implementation of e-mental health tools as an optimal solution. Medical advances have increased the survival rates in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), but have highlighted some consequences after the critical illness. ICU survivors may present […]
Research project description PhD will investigate Multicomponent Community Intervention on Mood in Older Adults. The World Health Organization has developed the Integrated Care of Older People (ICOPE) strategy, a program based on the measurement of intrinsic capacity (IC) as “the composite of all physical and mental attributes on which an individual can draw”. IC include […]
Research project description PhD will investigate the potential of non-pharmacological interventions for enhancing healthy mental longevity grounded in Reminiscence Therapy. Strategies such as robotic assisted training will also be explored to provide cognitive stimulation and emotional support, especially in older people in residential settings. By leveraging technological advancements, this research aims to unlock new pathways […]
Research project description PhD will investigate our understanding of human cognition and affective experience in health and disease through the lens of predictive processing, particularly in the field of emotion, social perception, and creativity, which are heavily related to mental health. Utilizing AI and data science, we aim to provide deeper analyses and novel methodologies, […]
Research project description PhD will investigate discovering computational markers of vertical and horizontal propagation of belief in perception, and their possible dysregulation in psychosis spectrum disorders such as schizophrenia (SZ). Vertical propagation of belief between low/sensory and high/associative cortical areas was shown to be affected in SZ, leading to circular inference (“see what you expect […]
