Novel Proteins Designed With Generative AI

Researchers developed an AI system called ProteinSGM, which uses generative diffusion to create entirely new therapeutic proteins. The model learns from image representations to generate fully new proteins that appear to be biophysically real, meaning they fold into configurations that enable them to carry out specific functions within cells. The researchers hope the system will help advance the field of generative biology, promising to speed drug development by making the design and testing of entirely new therapeutic proteins more efficient and flexible.

Machine-Learning Algorithm Predicts What Mice See From Brain Data

EPFL researchers have developed a novel machine learning algorithm called CEBRA, which can predict what mice see based on decoding their neural activity. The algorithm maps brain activity to specific frames and can predict unseen movie frames directly from brain signals alone after an initial training period. CEBRA can also be used to predict movements of the arm in primates and to reconstruct the positions of rats as they move around an arena, suggesting potential clinical applications.

Listen and Learn: AI Systems Process Speech Signals Like Human Brains

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can process signals similar to how the brain interprets speech, potentially helping to explain how AI systems operate. Scientists used electrodes on participants' heads to measure brain waves while they listened to a single syllable and compared that brain activity to an AI system trained to learn English, finding that the shapes were remarkably similar, which could aid in the development of increasingly powerful systems.
