Scientists from Columbia University claimed to be able to create artificial intelligence capable of recognizing individual words about the activity of the cerebral cortex. According to Naked Science, the accuracy of reproduction was 75%.
During the study, researchers performed experiments on five volunteers who were sent for surgery related to severe epileptic seizures. In the cerebral cortex, the researchers placed a matrix of microelectrodes, which recorded the activity of the neurons for half an hour, while people read short texts. The data collected were used for the study of artificial intelligence.
In order to demonstrate the network of neurons in the work, researchers lost the count of volunteers from zero to nine. Artificial intelligence analyzed the activity of the brain and the use of the voice synthesizer proclaimed the original word. According to the project leader, Nima Mesgarani, the performance was 75%, which is much higher than in similar experiments conducted before.
Earlier an artificial intelligence discovered a cure for malaria in a toothpaste. During this study, scientists have associated artificial intelligence with the analysis of the interaction of the pathogen, malaria parasites, with triclosan, a toothpaste antibiotic " "usual" therapeutic. As biologists explain, this antibiotic inhibits bacterial reproduction by interfering with the work of one of their key enzymes, which is responsible for assembling the fat molecules needed for normal wall function. microbes.
