Abstract:
The aim of this contribution is to introduce Spatiotemporal Psychopathology and the way it may complement and extent Phenomenological Psychopathology by bridging the methodological gap between the brain and experience. In the first part, I will provide examples for spatiotemporal correspondence between neuronal and psychopathological features. Specifically, I will discuss how spatial changes in the brain's spontaneous activity translate into abnormal experience of the self in major depressive disorder (MDD). Finally, I will briefly discuss the method of such Spatiotemporal Psychopathology and distinguish it from the methods relied on in other forms of Psychopathology with a special focus on showing the continuity between Spatiotemporal and Phenomenological Psychopathology.
