Brain-inspired algorithm could improve word recognition accuracy in noisy situations by up to 40 percentage points, potentially helping with the so-called “cocktail party problem”
by Danny Giancioppo Although Assistant Professor Tim O’Shea (BME, MSE) was always interested in STEM, it wasn’t until his junior year of high school that his interest evolved into a personal mission. Growing up in Brisbane, Australia, there was a surplus of mining and mechanical engineering opportunities in the state, lending itself to a vibrant […]
Treatments, informed by research, make BU and Sargent College a leader in combating the neurological disorder
In the article “Psilocybin, Teens, and ADHD: A Prescription for Psychosis,” Professor Hasselmo’s expertise is brought in concerning the effects of psychedelics.
Among those attracted to BU by this emphasis on convergence was David Boas. He’s a pioneer in neurophotonics, which combines engineering, optics, imaging, and neuroscience to study the brain. An ENG professor of biomedical engineering, Boas builds systems that use light to watch the brain in action and map neural activity. In collaborations with researchers at BU […]
Steve Ramirez’s answers the question of whether the wildly popular AppleTV+ show’s “severance” procedure is actually possible.
BU engineer Siddharth Ramachandran is developing a technology that could cut the power needed to transmit data—and maybe one day improve brain imaging
It might not be as simple as shining a phone flashlight on your finger, but the principles of diffusive glow apply to many of Roblyer’s medical device inventions for tracking health.
Helen Tager-Flusberg, director of the Center for Autism Research Excellence at Boston University, spoke with U.S. News via email about the likely reasons behind the rise, why claims of a link between vaccines and autism persist, and how the Trump administration could impact autism research.
Professor Cheng’s research team was recently featured on “Photonics Hot List” for their work on using microwaves to treat brain disease.
