Pierre Orban graduated in psychology and focuses his research on the study of inter-individual and intra-individual variability of brain disconnectivity. His research interests include functional magnetic resonance imaging used to update biomarkers for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Specifically, he investigates abnormal processes of resting-state functional brain connectivity. Recent studies indicate that brain connectivity in schizophrenia may relate to various pathophysiological processes, potentially responsible for diverse clinical symptoms. Another area of exploration involves applying supervised machine learning techniques to brain connectivity measures to predict treatment outcomes or the course of mental illness. These approaches are combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation to evaluate the utility of this non-invasive neuromodulation tool in regulating abnormalities in functional brain connectivity.
