‘Minimalist machine learning’ algorithm analyzes complex microscopy and other images from very little data

Mathematicians at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a radical new approach to machine learning: a new type of highly efficient “deep convolutional neural network” that can automatically analyze complex experimental scientific images from limited data.

Neuroscientists devise scheme for mind-uploading centuries in the future

In a scenario (almost) right out of the show Altered Carbon, two researchers — Robert McIntyre, an MIT graduate, and Gregory M. Fahy, PhD., 21st Century Medicine (21CM) Chief Scientific Officer, have developed a method for scanning a preserved brain’s connectome (the 150 trillion microscopic synaptic connections presumed to encode all of a person’s knowledge).

A high-density, stretchable, 32-electrode grid for neural recording and neurological disorder treatment

An international team has developed a soft, elastic, high-density stretchable electrode grid for long-term, stable neural recording, and diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, such as epilepsy.
