- EEG readings + data crunching = Phenotype patterns in psychotic diagnoses (John Robert Shapiro) – Yeah, I have weird leisure reading (inspired by my neuroscientist brother), but it’s actually some pretty cool EEG research looking at auditory responses characteristic in psychotic diagnoses (could lead to identifying genetic markers for these conditions).
