EVENT DETAILS |
This talk will cover using artificial intelligence, machine learning, & deep learning to analyze the human brain.
AI has perhaps the greatest potential to help humans in health, wellness, & anti-aging & also has myriad potential for new products, services, & new businesses.
Brain Backups aims to decipher all the neuronal connections in the human connector. The connectome is like the genome of the mind -- it is the neural network of connections in the brain. You are your connectome. Many pieces of connectomes from different organisms & brain regions have been studied in great detail, but the holy grail is whole brain in vivo non-destructive non-invasive connectome imaging. Think of it as Time Machine for your brain -- create a backup every two weeks, restore as needed.
The complexity of the human brain requires many different AI's to decipher & label different cellular & neuronal features. It would take many lifetimes for a human pathologist to systematically label & annotate all of the neuroanatomical features of the brain, so we have developed several AI's to perform different labeling & annotation tasks. This has greatly accelerated the rate at which whole brains can be analyzed post mortem. Many hurdles remain to resolve all neurons & inter-neuron connections in vivo, but we have recently had significant breakthroughs in this direction that I will discuss.
