This effort, conceived by lead editor Lena, with excellent support from Drs. Eric Tan and Iris Sommer, is a product of many research groups’ labour. It contains observations from transdiagnostic data, from several thousands of patients, using several novel methods varying from functional competence assessments to brain imaging. Importantly, it carries language data from languages other than English – a key challenge to date in clinical computational linguistic approaches.
