RICHARD JAMES NEUFELD

Dr. Neufeld is internationally recognized as a pioneer in applying mathematical methods to measure and study cognitive functioning in mental disorders, notably schizophrenia, and for inaugurating a comprehensive chaos-theory model of stress and coping, applicable to normal and clinical populations. Dr. Neufeld is credited for adapting mathematical methods to: translate research findings from groups of subjects to individual patients, evaluate the efficiency of treatment programs in improving cognitive functioning of treated groups, monitor the cognitive functioning of individual patients over the course of treatment and to improve the measurement and interpretation of mental operations monitored by modern brain imaging technology.
