Carnegie Mellon invests $12M into AI to ‘reverse-engineer the brain’
A research project at Carnegie Mellon will try to emulate the brain to gain insights to apply to machine learning. Here’s what you should know.
Collaborative Minds Bringing Sounds to Brain Data in Yearlong Project
Very huge step forward for brain sensory mapping.
Data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have provided eye-popping pictures of the way the brain is wired, and allowed neuroscientists and laypeople alike to view intricate anatomical and functional connections between regions of the brain. But what if a new tool could be applied to MRI and other data, to listen to the way the brain works and how it is forged with connections?
An emerging effort to “sonify” imaging data is taking root at UT Dallas’ Center for Vital Longevity, in the lab of Dr. Gagan Wig. The approach, now funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), allows data to be represented by sounds from which a trained listener might be able to discern patterns of brain connectivity not readily seen in available visualization strategies.
Wig, an assistant professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, is working with his UT Dallas colleagues Dr. Roger Malina, Arts and Technology Distinguished Chair, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, assistant professor in the sound design program in the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication, and a mix of scientists, computer programmers and artists to translate data to sight and sound.

Family buries third child, lost to rare form of brain cancer: “I am sick of it”
I do know that a certain form of Glioblastoma does run in families; however, 3 sisters and all so young is a tragedy.
BONITA SPRINGS, Florida — A Florida family is remembering another child whose life was taken too soon.
Ten-year-old Isabella Mading died on Saturday, February 6th after her year-long battle with a rare form of brain cancer — the same disease that killed her older brother in 2010 and her older sister 2013.
