In order to prevent and cure debilitating ailments including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and autism, a new study at Georgia State University's TReNDS Center may result in early detection. A team of seven scientists from Georgia State developed a sophisticated computer programme that was able to sift through enormous volumes of brain imaging data and find unexpected patterns related to mental health disorders. As the study's lead author and an associate professor of computer science and neuroscience at Georgia State University, Sergey Plis remarked, "We constructed artificial intelligence models to analyse the substantial volumes of information from fMRI." The computer programme was even able to pinpoint the precise "moment" when the brain imaging data most strongly suggested a connection to the relevant mental condition.
