(Stony Brook University News) – A team of researchers at Stony Brook University led by Sima Mofakham, PhD, has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to develop a brain-behavior synchronization system called “SeeMe” that uses electrophysiological signals, computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) technology in brain injury patients to detect early signs of consciousness and promote recovery.
Thousands of brain-injured patients are labeled as “unresponsive” in hospitals every year. Neuroscientists believe that perhaps as many as one-quarter of these patients may be conscious but not able to show it. CONTINUE
