The Human Brain

Wed, 08 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Unraveling the human brain is sometimes referred to as science’s last frontier. With 100 billion neurons, the brain is the most intricate organ in the human body. By accelerating insights into bridging structure and function, machine learning has the potential to speed up the discovery of new therapeutic targets. These research projects focus on human cortical imaging, mild traumatic brain injury, the effects of exercise on the brain, and craniosynostosis.

Transport-Based Learning

Medical imaging may soon be able to see beyond the limitations of human perception. Yet, most standard machine learning classifiers are unable to explain the logic behind their conclusions - the “black box.” This research develops new approaches for machine learning with built-in expainability. Transport-based learning is an innovative method enabling both automatic discovery and direct visualization of imperceptible patterns within a unified framework.
