round-up | Five important biomedical technology breakthroughs
Ranging from AI-enhanced medical imaging to nanometer-scale MRI and a skin-implantable biosensor
The brain learns completely differently than we’ve assumed, new learning theory says
New post-Hebb brain-learning model may lead to new brain treatments and breakthroughs in faster deep learning
Next-gen optical disc has 10TB capacity and six-century lifespan
A future alternative to hard disks and Blu ray for storing exponentially exploding zettabytes of “Long Data” in energy-intensive data centers
Recording data from one million neurons in real time
Applications include monitoring the brain in paralyzed patients, watching for epileptic seizure signs, and real-time feedback for robotic arms
New algorithm will allow for simulating neural connections of entire brain on future exascale supercomputers
DARPA-funded ‘body on a chip’ microfluidic system could revolutionize drug evaluation
Linked by microfluidic channels, compact system replicates interactions of 2 million human-tissue cells in 10 “organs on chips,” replacing animal testing
‘Minimalist machine learning’ algorithm analyzes complex microscopy and other images from very little data
Key tool for Chan-Zuckerberg-sponsored Human Cell Atlas project
Neuroscientists devise scheme for mind-uploading centuries in the future
A high-density, stretchable, 32-electrode grid for neural recording and neurological disorder treatment
A potential Neuralink device? (see SXSW video)
