    Decoding Speech from Brain Activity with surprising accuracy

    An artificial intelligence can decode words and sentences from brain activity with surprising — but still limited — accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the...

    Screening detects 44% risk of couples who are related by blood.

    A recent study done by the University of Zurich shows that a maximal variant of Genetic Screening tests detects the risk in 44 percent of couples who are related by blood, and in just 5 percent of other couples. Non-hereditary newly acquired mutations are a major reason for the reduced detection...
