IBM uses AI to predict progress of Huntington’s disease symptoms
[ad_1] The existing understanding of the disease only indicates that symptoms tend to materialize between the ages of 30 and 50, not which symptoms and how they’ll evolve. The researchers are “optimistic” that a single MRI scan could produce more accurate estimates of functional decline across multiple categories. It wouldn’t result in better treatment by […]
Study finds changes in Cuban diplomats’ brains, but no sign of attack
[ad_1] The study performed advanced brain imaging on 40 government personnel who were stationed in Cuba. A group of 48 healthy patients were used as a control. Compared to the control group, the brains of the Cuba patients showed distinct differences in brain volume and connectivity. There was reduced white matter in the affected patients. […]
AI could study your brain to help teachers improve their courses
[ad_1] The team started out by having rookie and intermediate engineering students both take standard tests as well as answer questions about pictures while sitting in an fMRI scanner. From there, they had the algorithm generate “neural scores” that could predict a student’s performance. The more certain parts of the brain lit up, the easier […]
Researchers trick radiologists with malware-created cancer nodes
[ad_1] To test out how effective the attack could be, the researchers conducted a blind study that asked radiologists to diagnose conditions based on CT lung scans—some of which were altered using the malware. When presented with scans that featured fake cancers nodules, the radiologists came back with a cancer diagnosis 99 percent of the […]
