Artificial Intelligence Helps Monitor Sleep

MIT researchers have developed a new, non invasive method to help monitor sleep patterns. The device uses an advanced AI algorithm to analyze wireless signals around a person and translate the measurements into sleep stages. Researchers plan to use the technology to study how Parkinson's disease affects sleep.

Neural Networks Model Audience Reactions to Movies

A new artificial neural network can assess a viewer's reaction to movies based on patterns of facial expressions. With enough information, researchers say the ANN will be able to assess how an audience is reacting to a movie and predict an individual's response based on a few minutes of observation.

Artificial Intelligence Helps Build Brain Atlas of Fly Behavior

Using machine learning, researchers have created a comprehensive brain map that links different groups of neurons to specific behaviors in fruit fly brains. The study, published in Cell, reports the AI used more than 225 days of video footage to help create the map. Left in human hands, the work would have taken an estimated 3,800 years to complete.
