How Artificial Intelligence is Helping Tailor Therapies for Brain Health Conditions

2022 Rising Star Awardee, Maryam Shanechi, sits down with fellow Rising Star Awardee (2018), Susanne Ahmari to discuss the work she’s doing using AI to tackle some of the challenges that come with researching neuropsychiatric disorders, including inter- and intra-individual variability as well as identifying symptom relevant brain signals and patterns in neuroactivity.

In this episode of One Scientist’s Mind, 2022 Rising Star Awardee, Maryam Shanechi, PhD, of University of Southern California, joins 2018 Rising Star Award recipient, Susanne Ahmari, MD, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh, for a conversation about using engineering, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret and record brain signals in order to understand how to tailor specific treatments to each individual patients’ needs. Watch this video to learn more about how exactly Maryam Shanechi is conducting this kind of research, what the difference is between a “Closed Loop” vs “Open Loop” approach to collecting data from participants, and how this innovative technology may be used to help reduce side effects for those affected by serious mental illness and brain health conditions.
