This study, titled, “Phenotypes REimagined to Define Clinical Treatment and Outcome Research (PREDiCTOR)”, will use objective, scalable, and cost-effective measurements to define novel clinical signatures that can be used for individual-level prediction and clinical decision-making in treating mental health disorders. This pilot study will explore the safety, feasibility, clinical effects and mechanism of deep brain stimulation in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr DBS) in 5 patients with treatment resistant schizophrenia. The pilot study will primarily investigate safety of the DBS surgical procedure and chronic stimulation, compliance with postsurgical care, follow-up DBS programing and research visits, and home-based procedures, including managing the DBS patient-controller and daily recordings of DBS sensing, symptom severity and audiovisual measures. Secondary outcomes are DBS related clinical changes, including hallucinations, delusions, negative symptoms and cognitive function, and optional intraoperative measures including acute symptom changes, electrophysiology, dopamine voltammetry, and brain biopsy. **Qualifications** Technical Duties: (include any protocols) Research & Analysis: Conduct empirical studies in computational psychiatry, analyze multi-modal datasets, and syn
