How artificial neural networks build their own learning machinery

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.

Estimating suicide risk from text

A new language-processing tool could help identify the highest-risk individuals from natural language, enabling swifter interventions.

Poitras Center to fuel early careers of 50 young scientists dedicated to psychiatric disorders research

Patricia and James Poitras ’63 provide fellowships for graduate students and postdocs who will shape the future of mental health research.

Beacon Biosignals is mapping the brain during sleep

Founded by Jake Donoghue PhD ’19 and former MIT researcher Jarrett Revels, the company is creating an AI-driven platform to help diagnose and treat disease.

AI algorithm enables tracking of vital white matter pathways

Opening a new window on the brainstem, a new tool reliably and finely resolves distinct nerve bundles in live diffusion MRI scans, revealing signs of injury or disease.

At MIT, a continued commitment to understanding intelligence

With support from the Siegel Family Endowment, the newly renamed MIT Siegel Family Quest for Intelligence investigates how brains produce intelligence and how it can be replicated to solve problems.

Guided learning lets “untrainable” neural networks realize their potential

CSAIL researchers find even “untrainable” neural nets can learn effectively when guided by another network’s built-in biases using their guidance method.

The cost of thinking

MIT neuroscientists find a surprising parallel in the ways humans and new AI models solve complex problems.

Blending neuroscience, AI, and music to create mental health innovations

Media Lab PhD student Kimaya Lecamwasam researches how music can shape well-being.

New technologies tackle brain health assessment for the military

Tools build on years of research at Lincoln Laboratory to develop a rapid brain health screening capability and may also be applicable to civilian settings such as sporting events and medical offices.
