Smart Tech Helps Scientists Study Brain Chemistry

Scientists are always looking for better ways to study the brain. One tool they use is called PET scanning. This tool helps them see how different parts of the brain work. But the data from these scans can be tricky to understand. One method to make sense of this data is called spectral analysis. It's like a filter that helps scientists focus on specific brain activ...

Mixing Brains and Machines: A New Way to Read Minds

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are like translators between our brains and machines. They need to be super accurate to be useful. But, using just one type of model to read brain signals isn't always the best. That's where hybrid models come in. They combine different types of models to get better results. One exciting area is mixing convolutional neural networks (...

Fixing Messy Data in Hospitals with Smart Tech

Emergency rooms are super busy places. They see a lot of patients, and keeping track of everyone is a big job. Hospitals use digital systems to log patient info, but mistakes happen. At the Bordeaux University Hospital, over 90% of these logs have missing or wrong data. This is mostly because people make typos or the software changes. It's a mess! A team decided to ...

Unlocking the Potential of Convolutional Neural Networks

In the world of neural networks, there's a lot of talk about how to make them better. One big issue is the back-propagation algorithm. It's been around for a while, but it has some problems. It can overfit data, which means it learns the noise instead of the actual pattern. It can also have vanishing or exploding gradients, which mess up the learning process. Plus, i...
