What would you say needs to happen to move those discoveries beyond the laboratory?
15:20
I believe that's a very important and critical question.
15:24
As Thomas indicated earlier, neuroscience, I think, is in a very exciting era of novel discoveries about the brain and its function.
15:32
But I believe that the key step is to build a translation pathway from discovery to implementation.
15:39
So rather than treating clinical translations as the final stage of research.
15:44
So this means that we need to validate promise and biomarkers for digital measures.
15:49
and treatment targets in diverse real-world patient populations, truly demonstrating that they improve meaningful clinical outcomes, and also establish how they can be incorporated into routine clinical workflows.
16:47
And Martin, where do you see the biggest barriers to translating neuroscience into innovation and into clinical practice?
