Now, an AI-based semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity while listening to a story, or silently imagining telling a story, into a continuous stream of text. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, it…

What happens during our last moments? Phenomena like near-death experiences, white light and tunnels, conversations with higher powers, and seeing friends and family that have already passed are more than fascinating. Given the number of…

University of Pittsburg auditory neuroscientists published a paper in Communications Biology describing how a machine learning model helps explain how the brain recognizes the meaning of communication sounds. The algorithm used models of…

Moderna and IBM are collaborating on generative artificial intelligence and quantum computing to advance mRNA technology at the core of the company’s Covid vaccine. Moderna will access IBM’s quantum computing systems and generative AI…

Mitsubishi has developed technology that detects serious physical conditions experienced by vehicle drivers, including loss of consciousness. The technology estimates pulse rate, changes in blood pressure, and other biometric data collected…

Electronic noses, or e-noses, are systems that combine chemical gas sensors, signal processing, and machine learning algorithms to mimic the sense of smell. E-noses can be used for checking food quality, monitoring air pollution, diagnosing…

Streaming and studying organic tissue are miles apart, but a new method of study brings them closer together than you might think possible. A groundbreaking technique developed by researchers affiliated with the USC Michelson Center for…

Flexible electronics consisting of electrodes with plastic or metal foil as substrates power wearables. But there’s a downside. Plastics have poor adhesion and low durability, while metal foils make devices bulky and less flexible. Paper is…

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed an innovative software tool to assemble complete (gapless) genome sequences from various species. Dubbed Verkko, “network” in Finnish, the tool makes creating the sequences…

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Heidelberg University announced the creation of a new technology designed to assemble matter in 3D. They based their research on using multiple acoustic holograms to…
