Device Lets Blind People “Hear” Facial Features

Facial recognition is essential to socializing. A new study used a device that reshapes images into sound signals to let blind people “see” facial features. The results have shed new light on the brain areas used to identify and process faces.

Brain Inflammation May Cause Irritability and Anxiety in Alzheimer's

New research reports that agitation and anxiety seen in Alzheimer's patients may stem from brain inflammation, rather than from tau and amyloid proteins.

Dopamine Explains the "Sunk-Cost" Fallacy

We value something more if we've worked hard for it, says the "sunk-cost" fallacy, and researchers have identified the neural signaling behind why this happens.

AI Model Predicts Long-Term Outcomes in Very Premature Babies

Researchers at UMC Utrecht have developed an AI model to predict long-term outcome in extremely premature babies early in life. The model can identify which infants might face intellectual disability as they grow.

Neurons Work Together When Processing Social Interactions

Researchers have discovered that a part of the brain associated with working memory and multisensory integration may also play an important role in how the brain processes social cues.

Would You Prefer if Alexa or Siri Sounded More Like You?

Users seem to prefer voice assistants that match their personality, leading to higher service ratings and more careful assessment of information.

An Introduction to Bayesian Statistics

Bayesian statistics has emerged as a powerful methodology for making decisions from data in the applied sciences. Bayesian brings a new way of thinking to statistics, in how it deals with probability, uncertainty and drawing inferences from an analysis.

Gene Therapy: A New Frontier in Disease-Modifying Therapies

The gene therapy landscape is dynamic and constantly shifting. In this article, we will review major advances in disease modification for illnesses that presently still lack effective treatments, as well as some challenges and approaches to overcome them.

Implanting Microdevices Into Brain Tumors To Determine the Best Treatment

Scientists have demonstrated the potential for using intratumoral microdevices (IMDs) to test various cancer drugs on the tumor before implementing systemic treatment. The approach could offer a hope in tackling hard-to-treat gliomas.

Biomarker Bonanza: Computational Methods and Metabolomics Advances

Biomarkers can potentially aid patient management across the stages of their disease course. This article will review advances in computationally-driven biomarker discovery, including from metabolomics datasets, for complex, multifactorial diseases.

The Power of Placebo in Psychedelic Trials

Ketamine is increasingly used as an antidepressant. A new clinical trial suggests the drug's effects may be may be placebo-based. In this article, we explore what that means for the drug's rollout for ketamine and psychedelic research.
