🔑 Key Takeaways

Why is Neuroscience Still a Massive Challenge? Drowning in data is half the struggle, but the complexities of neuroscience offer another layer that makes innovation even harder.”Neuroscience is a constellation of sciences focused on studying the nervous system,” Dimitri clarifies. “It’s not just the brain, but also central and peripheral systems.”
Starting from Scratch! Due to the fast-evolving nature of neuroscience, scientists in the field are often studying complex systems with basic tools they’ve created and designed. “It’s the least standardized field,” Dimitri admits. “It takes an enormous amount of effort building the hardware, software and systems [from scratch].”
How Can AI Advance Neuroscience? “We’re entering an era where making sense of data is no longer possible by looking at it,” Dimitri explains, clarifying why AI may offer the solution to complex neuroscience studies. Machine learning algorithms might hold the key for detecting statistical anomalies in complex data sets to accelerate innovation.
