Artificial neural networks modeled on human brain connectivity can effectively perform complex cognitive tasks.
A medical wrist device detected disrupted sleep patterns 24 hours before participants started shedding the flu virus. While the initial study was focused on influenza, researchers speculate the device could be sufficient at spotting the beginning of other infections, including COVID-19. While it should not be considered a full diagnostic device, the wristband data will be useful to guide when people should self isolate as a precaution.
A new machine learning algorithm can accurately predict how long people will spend viewing an exhibit at a museum.
A new machine-learning algorithm is able to teach itself to smell within a few minutes of training. As it learns, the system builds an artificial network that mimics the brain's olfactory system.
While Parkinson's disease is known to generally affect motor function, there is a range of other symptoms associated with the neurodegenerative disease. Some additional symptoms include changes to the skin on the face and problems forming facial expressions. A new AI system is able to detect subtle changes in facial attributes associated with Parkinson's disease.
