Decoding Stroke with Neural Networks

Imagine you’re a detective analyzing clues to solve a mysterious case. In this study, scientists took a similar approach but traded in magnifying glasses for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to investigate perfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The CNN was trained on pre-processed CT perfusion data, generating informative maps that revealed the extent of […]

Unraveling the Challenges of Cochlear Implant Users with Computational Models

Understanding speech with a cochlear implant (CI) can differ greatly among users due to factors like electrode-nerve interface and neural health conditions. This diversity of performance makes it hard to compare different sound coding strategies through traditional studies. However, computational models offer a controlled environment to assess CI users’ speech performance. In this study, a […]
