Expanding access to knee osteoarthritis imaging
An AI-powered platform could give clinicians greater access to tools to prevent, monitor and treat knee osteoarthritis. A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool spearheaded by Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute researcher Dr. Ilker Hacihaliloglu could expand the early detection and treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Hacihaliloglu and his team’s recent study introduced the MonoUNet AI tool, which enhances handheld ultrasound images and…

Dr. Jonathan Pillow: Disentangling the Roles of Distinct Cell Classes with Cell-Type Dynamical Systems
September 18
2215 Wesbrook MallVancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z3 Canada
A large body of recent work has focused on the problem of inferring neural population dynamics from recordings of neural activity. However, these models typically ignore the fact that the brain contains multiple cell types, which limits their ability to predict the effects of cell-specific perturbations, or to capture the functional roles of distinct cell classes. To overcome these limitations,…
