PD Dr. Yosuke Morishima is a Senior Lecturer and Group Leader at the University Psychiatric Clinics Basel (UPK Basel) under the University of Basel. His research focuses on neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroimaging techniques, and neurophysiological interventions. He specializes in studying schizophrenia, psychosis risk, self-experience disorders, and neurobiological mechanisms of mental health conditions through advanced electrophysiological (ERP/EEG) and neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI) methods.
Key research interests include:
- Neural correlates of self-consciousness and pre-reflective experience
- Clinical applications of transcranial stimulation (tACS, TMS, tDCS)
- Neuroimaging of brain connectivity in psychosis and depression
- Neurobiological basis of social emotions like embarrassment
- Pharmacological and immunological factors in mental disorders
His work integrates computational neuroscience, clinical psychiatry, and neurotechnology to develop novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic interventions. Recent studies explore sleep modulation for depression and phase-synchronized neurostimulation techniques.
As a Group Leader, he oversees projects on:
- Multimodal neuroimaging in psychiatric populations
- Neural network dysfunction in high-risk psychosis
- Closed-loop sleep interventions
His team collaborates across disciplines, combining electrophysiology, MRI, and behavioral modeling to advance understanding of mental health disorders.
