1. Alteration in predictive processing may contribute to the general deficit in cognitive functions which is found in many different disorders.
2. Dynamic connectivity analyses can resolve different brain connectivity patterns corresponding to distinct mental processes, which may be useful for examining the fluctuation of cognition and behavior such as hallucinations. 3. Studying psychiatric symptoms in a subclinical population can aid a mechanistic understanding of these symptoms in clinical patients.
4. A formal computational modeling framework is strongly required to formalize scientific questions and hypotheses in the field of psychiatry. 5. Both basic and clinical fields need open science (e.g. sharing research data and code) and open mind (e.g. sharing research ideas and thoughts).
6. A successful explanation of psychiatric symptoms needs to work not only at a theoretical level but also at a practical level.
