New study uses machine intelligence to hasten brain mapping ANI | Updated: Dec 19, 2020 08:39 IST Okinawa [Japan], December 19 (ANI): Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University have discovered a new way to use machine intelligence for accelerating brain mapping technique. Published in Scientific Reports, the study shows that researchers used the technique to untangle the human brain's wiring and to better understand the changes that accompany neurological or mental disorders such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Professor Kenji Doya, who leads the Neural Computation Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) said, "Working out how all the different brain regions are connected what we call the 'connectome' of the brain is vital to fully understand the brain and all the complex processes it carries out."
