The Imperial startup won first prize after it outperformed competitors in an international competition to find the best machine learning technologies for identifying brain states and behavioural intentions using brain waves. The BEETL AI Challenge for EEG Transfer Learning competition, sponsored by Facebook Reality Labs, was held as part of the prestigious NeurIPS 2021 machine learning conference ..read more

Patterns of brain activity are associated with different brain processes and can be used to identify different brain states and make behavioral predictions. However, the relevant features are not readily apparent and accessible. To mine informative latent representations from multichannel EEG recordings, we propose a novel differentiable EEG decoding pipeline consisting of learnable filters and ..read more

Scientists have reported a brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) that enabled a real-time transfer of behaviorally meaningful sensorimotor information between the brains of two rats to create a computational unit out of two brains. However, neuroscientists in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have expressed critics on the report. The full article is available here: M. Pais-Vieira ..read more

Engineers at MIT have designed an artificial synapse in such a way that they can precisely control the strength of an electric current flowing across it, similar to the way ions flow between neurons. The team has built a small chip with artificial synapses, made from silicon germanium. In simulations, the researchers found that the ..read more

Contemporary AI systems still lack high-level cognitive and learning skills. With the help of digital neuromorphic chips, scientists now aim to accurately model how humans can quickly and easily learn a cognitive task, such as a new board game. In digital neuromorphic chips, silicon ‘neurons’ replicate the way information flows in biological neurons but with ..read more
