Spotlight Research: Predicting Therapy Outcomes With Machine Learning
BU Researchers Use Machine Learning to Create Personalized Recovery Plans for Individuals with Neurological Disorders Boston University Researchers are working to advance personalized healthcare by developing a personalized prediction algorithm for speech, language, and cognitive recovery in patients with neurological disorders. In a project funded by the Hariri Insitute, Boston University Researchers Swathi Kiran, Alan […]
Spotlight Research: Multiple Demand Study
BU Researchers Study: Functional Reorganization of the Language and Domain-general Multiple Demand Systems in Aphasia Introduction Our recent project on neuroplasticity and neurorecovery of aphasia examines how the brain adapts to recover language abilities in individuals with aphasia. It observes English speakers, whether they have a history of stroke or not, by studying the relationship […]
Spotlight Research: Neuroimaging in the Everyday World
BU Researchers Blend Disciplines to Create Technology for Neuroimaging in the Everyday World. The human brain is a complex system that is incredibly important to study in order to further our understanding of neurological functions, behaviors, and disorders. However, current technology limits our ability to capture data and images of the brain in the everyday […]
