AI helps scientists understand brain activity behind thoughts
Baylor College of MedicineMonday, November 23, 2020
A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University has developed artificial intelligence (AI) models that help them better understand the brain computations that underlie thoughts.
