Using MRI features, machine learning models diagnose Parkinson’s Disease

Imagine you’re a detective who needs to solve a complex case. You gather evidence from different locations and pieces them together to uncover the truth. In a similar way, researchers used multiple structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features from various regions of the brain to develop machine learning models for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease (PD). They […]

Pitch Encoding Affected by Aging and Language Background in Humans

The way we process pitch information in our brains is influenced by both aging and our language background. To better understand these effects, scientists conducted a study on individuals of different ages and language backgrounds, measuring their Frequency Following Responses. The results showed that both aging and language background have an impact on the accuracy […]
