In September, 2018, Thomas Insel speculated that, in 2050, psychiatrists will have realised that “the revolution in technology and information science will prove more consequential for global mental health,” compared with the developments in genomics and neuroscience. This is an astounding statement in itself, especially from somebody who advocated genomics and neuroscience in his former position as head of The National Institute of Mental Health. However, what exactly is meant by information science and why should it outpace neuroscience and genetics?
