Artificial intelligence capable of decoding brain activity during sleep

Posted on by Haptic

We sleep on average one third of our time. But what does the brain do during these long hours? Using an artificial intelligence approach capable of decoding brain activity during sleep, scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, were able to glimpse what we think about when we are asleep. By combining functional magnetic Read more about Artificial intelligence capable of decoding brain activity during sleep[…]

Predictions on what will happen next

Posted on by Haptic

Humans depend on their senses to perceive the world, themselves and each other. Despite senses being the only window to the outside world, people do rarely question how faithfully they represent the external physical reality. During the last 20 years, neuroscience research has revealed that the cerebral cortex constantly generates predictions on what will happen Read more about Predictions on what will happen next[…]

Emotions to be discovered by video games

Posted on by Haptic

Emotions are complex phenomena that influence our minds, bodies and behaviour. A number of studies have sought to connect given emotions, such as fear or pleasure, to specific areas of the brain, but without success. Some theoretical models suggest that emotions emerge through the coordination of multiple mental processes triggered by an event. These models Read more about Emotions to be discovered by video games[…]

Artificial Intelligence May Aid in Alzheimer’s Diagnosis

Posted on by Haptic

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computer programs to learn when exposed to new data without being programmed. Now, researchers in The Netherlands have coupled machine learning methods with a special MRI technique that measures the perfusion, or tissue absorption rate, of blood throughout the brain to detect early forms of Read more about Artificial Intelligence May Aid in Alzheimer’s Diagnosis[…]
