Predicting psychosis before it occurs: Brain images from thousands of people worldwide have been used to create a machine learning-based classifier that could aid early diagnosis
The onset of psychosis can be predicted before it occurs, using a machine-learning tool which can classify MRI brain scans into those who are healthy and those at risk of a psychotic episode. An international consortium including researc… More

Brain inspires more robust AI --A new technique to protect sensitive AI-based applications from attackers--
Most artificially intelligent systems are based on neural networks, algorithms inspired by biological neurons found in the brain. These networks can consist of multiple layers, with inputs coming in one side and outputs going out of the … More

A molecule that eliminates neural synapses offers insights into rare genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome and autism spectrum disorders.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo reveal how the presynaptic Ube3a E3 ligase, a causal factor in Angelman syndrome, eliminates neural chat. The study helps find a better drug target for the Angelman syndrome treatment.

The eyes have it - New insight gained into how the visual system develops in mice
A new study in mice has revealed never-before-seen details about how the complicated visual network forms in them. This research could inform future research into the treatment of congenital blindness. But given the parallels between b… More

Solving combinatorial optimization problems with chaotic amplitude control
Among the theories needed to bridge machine and human intelligence, the Ising model has proven useful for capturing mesoscopic neuronal interactions by simplifying their activity to binary decisions. In this model, neural states repr… More

Dynamic causality of the prefrontal cortex in fluctuating human consciousness
In new work published in the journal eLife, a researcher at the International Center for Neurointelligence(IRCN) at The University of Tokyo showed that visual consciousness, the mental awareness of what our eyes see, is regulated by par… More
