Shots - Health News Meet the 'glass-half-full girl' whose brain rewired after losing a hemisphereīut the Texas team's approach is an attempt to "decode more freeform thought," says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University who was not involved in the new research. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in articulating words. Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. They also are helping scientists understand how the brain processes words and thoughts. Still, systems that decode language could someday help people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. This technology can't read minds, though. "It's getting at the ideas behind the words, the semantics, the meaning," says Alexander Huth, an author of the study and an assistant professor of neuroscience and computer science at The University of Texas at Austin. The system reconstructs the gist of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to replicate each word, a team reports in the journal Nature Neuroscience. Scientists have found a way to decode a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. Pink areas have above-average activity blue areas have below-average activity. The TPM has definitely created a stronger bond and connection among the project partners.ĪCEEU can not wait to attend the next on-site TPM planned to take place in Barcelona in February 2023.This video still shows a view of one person's cerebral cortex. The DECODE partners finally had the opportunity to get to know their colleagues better beyond the screen. The intense 2-day TPM did not only result in clearer ideas and strategies on how to move the project forward but it also added a great value to the partnerships. Moreover, the partners had the opportunity to have the first initial discussion of the following two outputs, IO 4 DECODE Impact Pathways and Impact Roadmaps Framework and IO 4 DECODE Empowerment Program for Impact Roadmap Design. As a quick reminder, the third output of the project, the DECODE Toolkit, is a set of practical tools, best practices, methods, models and instruments created for deans, vice-deans, and other leaders of academic units to drive sustainability and embed it within their academic units in a meaningful way and at the same time overcome obstacles faced in the process. The consortium discussed the progress of the DECODE Toolkit and the plans for the next steps which are the validation process of the Toolkit and possible revision. The meeting focused on the discussion of the ongoing Intellectual Output 3, DECODE Toolkit, led by RTU. This third (first on-site) Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) was hosted by the Riga Technical University (RTU) in Riga, Latvia starting from Monday until Tuesday, 20 - 21 June 2022. DECODE's First Face-to-Face Transnational Project Meeting in RigaĪCEEU is jubilant to announce that after more than a year and a half of working together, the DECODE Sustainability partners have finally met face to face to discuss the development and plan the next steps of the project.
