Building a 3D Brain Atlas

Texas Biomed will help map the developing brain with unprecedented detail for the National Institutes of Health’s BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN). NIH recently awarded a total of $500 million to 11 teams that will work together to build a 3D brain atlas at single cell resolution over the next five years.

€9 Million to Develop Europe's AI-on-Demand Platform

The European Commission has financed a consortium to develop the next phase of Europe's strategically important artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure known as the AI-on-demand (AIOD) platform.

Through the Horizon Europe Programme (Artificial Intelligence and Robotics), the AI4Europe project, led by Irish University College Cork (UCC) has been awarded €9 million to develop the platform.

Speech as a New Diagnostic Tool in ALS and FTD

With the help of speech tests, an initial diagnosis of severe neurodegenerative diseases should be possible in the future. Researchers at the DZNE are developing so-called digital biomarkers for this purpose - these are criteria that an artificial intelligence can use to detect whether a patient's speech pattern has changed as a result of a disease. The technology manages to detect even slightest speech changes that are inaudible to the human ear.

Consortium to Develop Fully Implantable Brain-Computer Interface to Enable Communication for People with Paralysis

A research consortium led by the UMC Utrecht Brain Center (the Netherlands) in collaboration with Graz University of Technology (Austria), the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering (Switzerland) and CorTec (Germany) is to receive a grant through the European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Challenge mechanism.

The researchers aim to develop a unique fully implantable Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system for people with locked-in syndrome (LIS) - a condition in which paralysis severely limits communication.

£8.5 Million Research Program to Transform AI Ethics and Regulation in the UK

A new research programme has been announced that will see researchers collaborate with industry and policymakers to tackle some of the of the biggest ethical questions posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), in order to build public trust and ensure the UK remains at global forefront of the research, development and deployment of AI technology.

Commission to Invest €292 Million in Digital Technologies and Cybersecurity

Today, the Commission opened the second set of calls for proposals of the Digital Europe Programme, which follows the adoption of the work programmes and a first set of calls in November 2021.

The calls are open to businesses, organisations, and public administrations from the EU Member States, EFTA/EEA countries, as well as entities from other countries associated to the Programme.

Players Needed to Solve Puzzles and Help Advance Cancer Research

The CRG and CNAG-CRG have launched GENIGMA, a videogame that enlists players to solve puzzles while generating real-world scientific data that can detect alterations in genomic sequences and ultimately advance breast cancer research.

The game, out today on iOS and Android and available in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, is the result of a two-and-a-half-year long citizen science project developed by a team of researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG-CRG) and game professionals.
