AI Spots Brain Disorders in Seconds From Scans

According to University of Michigan neuroscientists, not only can their AI vision language model diagnose neurological disorders from MRI scans with high performance accuracy, but it also has foundation model capabilities, making it a flexible, general-purpose solution that can be tailored for a wide variety of medical imaging. "These results demonstrate that Prima has foundation model properties, and reported performance will continue to improve with additional health system training data and larger compute budgets," wrote the study's authors in the preprint.

AI-Decoded Brain Signals May Help Paralyzed Regain Movement

Artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning is making a difference in assistive technology to help restore movement for the paralyzed. A new study in the American Institute of Physics journal APL Bioengineering shows how AI has the potential to restore lower-limb functions in those with severe spinal cord injuries (SCIs) by identifying patterns in brain signals captured noninvasively via electroencephalography (EEG).
