PsyInformatics
Psyinformatics refers to the analysis of large datasets that contain psychological, behavioral and/or genetic information for the purpose of identifying relationships among the underlying variables, both in mental and emotional disorders and in positive mental health.
Because the meaningful application of computer modeling, data mining, and analytic techniques to this such information requires many thousands of records of valid and reliable data, this is a relatively recent exploratory domain.
A meaningful understanding of human nature must include both our physical being and immaterial minds and the intersection of these two domains – and intersection that results in observable behavior.
Psychological informatics involves the use of very large datasets of various kinds, applied mathematics, decision support methodologies, statistics, data analytics and (so-called) artificial intelligence, and the findings of neurophysiology to address psychological and behavioral phenomenon in a distinctly parametric manner.
Primary research efforts include elemental or definitional specificities of mind-brain-behavioral interactions, behavioral prediction for groups and individuals, and the modeling of the psychological evolution of the species.
This place-holder domain, created in 2006, will eventually be the public portal for Psych-Science Associates.
