Computer News: Using AI to optimize for rapid neural imaging

[bob_turner]

Connectomics, the ambitious field of study that seeks to map the intricate network of animal brains, is undergoing a growth spurt. Within the span of a decade, it has journeyed from its nascent stages to a discipline that is poised to (hopefully) unlock the enigmas of cognition and the physical underpinning of neuropathologies such as in Alzheimer’s disease.  At its forefront is the use of powerful electron microscopes, which researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial...
