Neuroscience

• [New] Making health information more congruent with and relevant for lower SES individuals who tend be more interpersonally oriented will help to encourage behavior change and close the gap in SES health disparities.
• [New] Future work could explore if neural activity in response to messages that focus on others' disapproval of unhealthy choices or failing others' expectations predicts future behavior change among lower SES populations.
• [New] Social-focused health messages will be more effective for lower SES people, and self-focused health messages will be more effective among higher SES people.
• [New] Compared to higher SES individuals, lower SES individuals will show greater neural activity in the VS and sub regions of the MPFC in response to social-focused health messages (relative to self-focused messages).
• [New] Early researchers in AI's deep neural networks realized that NVIDIA GPUs, which process matrices to create 3D graphics, could be used to accelerate the matrix operations needed for AI.
• [New] Flow Neuroscience will build on the years of research that Halo has undertaken in conjunction with US universities, and will continue to build strong ties with the scientific community in the neuromodulation space.
• [New] Brain drain from academic institutions to the private sector threatens to hollow out the foundations of the United States' advantage in basic AI research - its universities.
• [New] Empowered with new tools, processes, and skills, scientists will gain new insight into the mysteries surrounding our brains, biology, and the strange matter that makes up our reality.
• [New] One study in the European Journal of Neuroscience used mouse models to show that CBD might help minimize inflammation.
• The biggest concern India has faced in its growth over the years has been brain drain to the west, where they lasso any opportunity and make something big out of themselves.
• While genetic enhancements are still decades away, brain computer interfaces (BCI) could allow soldiers to command technology at the speed of thought in the next ten years.
• The future of brain computer Interface has huge potential for every industry vertical and is set to take the world by a new wave of disruption.
• Initiatives like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology effort and Elon Musk's Neuralink will make it even easier to shape brain functions and pass information directly to and from a brain.
• A diabetic retinopathy screening program for early detection and treatment through convolutional neural networks, based on Mexican clinical guidelines, that will be implemented in three hospitals in Mexico - for early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
• In 2020, the work plans of corporate data boffins will begin to add a new methodology based on AI called neural architecture research, it is designed to automate the construction and optimization of neural networks according to objectives.
• The Global Brain-Computer Interface market was valued at USD 944.5 Million (by revenue) in 2017 and is anticipated to reach USD 1,822.2 Million by 2024 with a CAGR of 9.9 by.
• MQ's HOPES project aims to develop a global model for predicting who is at risk of suicide by analysing brain scans and data on suicidal behaviour and traits of young people from across the world.
• The coronavirus pandemic means we can expect a 40% drop in investment across medical research charities in 2020, delaying progress towards desperately needed new treatments and better care, and risking a brain drain as young researchers move into better-funded areas.
• As the human brain is the CPU of human bodies and thoughts-action process, scientists fear that attack and corruption of brain implants, also called brainjacking, can shoot up in the coming years.
• Stroke, characterized by a high disability rate and high mortality rate, has become one of the most important diseases that threaten human life and health in the world today.
• A 2020 brain supports a 2020 psychology / psychological profile and a 1520 brain a 1520 psychology, but human neuroanatomy and neurophysiology have not changed in 500 years and will not change in the next 500 years.
• In 2021 and beyond, we will see more startups following a 'Lean AI' approach by starting with traditional statistical methods for problem-solving and then move on to machine learning and deep neural networks as they collect more data.
• In reality, Musk's proposed Neuralink could help patients with serious brain injuries as early as next year.
