Cracking the Code of Sound Recognition: Machine Learning Model Reveals How Our Brains Understand Communication Sounds

Researchers developed a machine learning model that mimics how the brains of social animals distinguish between sound categories, like mating, food or danger, and react accordingly. The algorithm helps explain how our brains recognize the meaning of communication sounds, such as spoken words or animal calls, providing crucial insight into the intricacies of neuronal processing. Insights from the research pave the way for treating disorders that affect speech recognition and improving hearing aids.

Biological Brains Outpace AI in Learning, Thanks to Structured Exploration

When it comes to rapid learning, the biological brain seems to have an edge over current AI technology. Scientists worked with different models of reinforcement learning to understand the algorithms that the brain uses to learn. They found that the directed exploration used by animals makes learning more efficient and requires less experience, unlike artificial agents that explore randomly.

Artificial Intelligence Identifies Infants at Risk of Blinding Disease

Researchers have developed a deep learning AI tool that can automate the diagnostics of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness. The tool was found to be as effective as senior pediatric ophthalmologists in discriminating normal retinal images from those with ROP that could lead to blindness, and the researchers hope it will improve access to care in underserved areas and prevent blindness in thousands of newborns worldwide.

AI-Equipped Eyeglasses Read Silent Speech

Researchers have developed a wearable interface called EchoSpeech, which recognizes silent speech by tracking lip and mouth movements through acoustic-sensing and AI. The device requires minimal user training and recognizes up to 31 unvocalized commands. The system could be used to give voice to those who are unable to vocalize sound or communicate silently with others.
