Cheryl Corcoran is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Program Leader in Psychosis Risk at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Together with Dr. Guillermo Cecchi of IBM, she has identified patterns of language that precede onset of psychosis, including reduction in coherence and complexity. They are interested in studying discourse and believe psychiatry can inform the development of artificial intelligence. She hopes to extend computational phenotyping to include prosody, face expression and gesture.
