Creating Synthetic DWI Scalar Maps with GANs from FLAIR MRI!

Imagine you have a recipe book for making delicious desserts, but it takes forever to gather all the ingredients and prepare them. Well, researchers may have found a way to speed up the process of acquiring diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) volumes by using generative adversarial networks (GANs) to produce synthetic DWI scalar maps. It’s like having […]

Sweet smell of success: Simple fragrance method produces major memory boost

When a fragrance wafted through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, memories skyrocketed. Participants in this study reaped a 226% increase in cognitive capacity compared to the control group. The researchers say the finding transforms the long-known tie between smell and memory into an easy, non-invasive technique for […]
