Researchers at Örebro University have developed two advanced AI models that could significantly improve how dementia is detected, using nothing more than the brain’s natural electrical activity captured through EEG signals.  These models were designed to distinguish between healthy individuals and those with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia, offering new hope for earlier and more accessible diagnosis. By combining temporal convolutional net

A team of researchers from University College London (UCL) has developed an advanced AI-assisted brain atlas that allows scientists to visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail, marking a major milestone in neuroscience and neuroimaging ( News-Medical.net ; Medical Xpress; Mirage News). Named NextBrain , the atlas provides a comprehensive map of the adult human brain, enabling the analysis of MRI scans in just minutes while offering a level of resolution that was prev
