Adversarial AI uncovers hidden brain mechanisms and potential treatments for disorders of consciousness

Researchers at UCLA developed a generative adversarial artificial intelligence framework that pits two AI models against each other to simulate conscious and unconscious brain states. The system, trained on over 680,000 neuroelectrophysiology samples, identified previously unknown mechanisms behind coma and predicted that stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus could help restore consciousness in patients with brain injuries.

Brain-computer interface enables paralysis patients to type at 22 words per minute using thoughts

A breakthrough brain implant for paralysis allowed two participants to type using their thoughts at speeds reaching 22 words per minute with just 1.6% error rate. The BrainGate system translates neural signals into text by decoding intended finger movements on a virtual QWERTY keyboard, bringing assistive communication technology closer to real-time conversation speeds for people with severe motor impairments.

Digital fruit fly brain walks while human neurons play Doom in biological computer experiments

San Francisco's Eon Systems has created a digital fruit fly brain model that controls a virtual body, displaying walking and grooming behaviors. Meanwhile, Australian startup Cortical Labs developed a code-deployable biological computer using 200,000 human brain cells that can play Doom. These parallel experiments represent significant steps in brain simulation and brain-computer interfaces, though questions remain about computational demands and future applications.

Google uses Gemini AI and 5 million old news reports to predict flash floods across 150 countries

Google has developed an AI-powered system that predicts flash floods by analyzing historical news coverage. The Gemini AI model sorted through 5 million news articles to identify 2.6 million flood events, creating the Groundsource dataset. This novel approach addresses a critical data gap that has prevented accurate flash flood forecasting, which kills over 5,000 people annually.

MyFitnessPal Acquires Cal AI, the Teen-Built AI Nutrition App That Hit $30M in Annual Revenue

MyFitnessPal has acquired Cal AI, the AI-powered calorie counting app built by two high school students that scaled to over 15 million downloads and $30 million in annual revenue in under two years. The deal, which closed in December after nearly a year of negotiations, keeps Cal AI operating independently while integrating it with MyFitnessPal's massive nutrition database spanning 20 million foods.

Harvard Study Shows AI Can Predict 71% of Fund Manager Trades, Raising Questions About Fees

A Harvard-led study reveals that AI can predict 71% of mutual fund trading decisions, suggesting much of active management follows detectable patterns. The research, analyzing data from 1990 to 2023, found that the unpredictable 29% of trades is where genuine alpha lives. The findings challenge the justification for high active-management fees and highlight how automation could reshape the $54 trillion asset management industry.

MIT's AI Algorithm Unlocks Brainstem Imaging, Revealing Signs of Parkinson's and Brain Injury

Researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed the BrainStem Bundle Tool (BSBT), an AI-powered software that automatically segments eight distinct nerve bundles in the brainstem using diffusion MRI. The tool revealed distinct patterns in patients with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's, and tracked a coma patient's 7-month recovery.

AI discovers 800 cosmic anomalies in Hubble Space Telescope archives, some defy classification

Researchers at the European Space Agency developed an AI tool called AnomalyMatch that scanned 35 years of Hubble Space Telescope data in just two and a half days. The neural network discovered more than 1,300 cosmic anomalies, including 800 never-before-documented objects. Among them were galaxy mergers, gravitational lenses, and dozens of objects that defy existing classification schemes entirely.

AI models fall for the same optical illusions as humans, revealing how both brains work

Researchers discovered that AI models experience optical illusions the same way humans do when shown the rotating snakes illusion. The breakthrough suggests both artificial and biological vision systems rely on predictive coding—a mechanism that anticipates future visual input rather than passively processing images. This finding could finally explain why our brains get tricked by certain patterns.
