If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see.</p> Mon, 10 May 2021 14:02:28 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 4989 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/bridging-gap-between-ai-and-clinic-319552 <p><b>Open source app helps predict brain tumour malignancy and patient survival </b></p> <p>The power of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine lies in its ability to find important statistical patterns in large datasets.

New research is shedding light on how sound memory works in the brain, and is even demonstrating a means to improve it.</p> Wed, 22 Mar 2017 20:30:33 +0000 jennifer.lockerby@mail.mcgill.ca 2540 at /neuro /neuro/auditory-brain-responses <p>Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at McGill University have made an important discovery about the human auditory system and how to study it, findings that could lead to better testing and diagnosis of hearing-related disorders.</p> <p>The researchers detected frequency-following responses (FFR) coming from a part of the brain not previously known to emit them. FFRs are neural signals generated in the brain when people hear sounds.</p> Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:37:13 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 1975 at /neuro /neuro/article/open-science-research/open-software-neuroscience Brainstorm advances fundamental and preclinical electrophysiology research Wed, 23 Oct 2019 17:10:47 +0000 Sylvain Baillet 4072 at /neuro /neuro/sylvain-baillet-phd Sat, 12 Nov 2022 10:07:45 +0000 iain.cook@mcgill.ca 3502 at /neuro /neuro/article/research-stories/pioneer-mri Magnetic resonance imaging at The Neuro has a long history of research and clinical breakthrough Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:36:19 +0000 Victor Swoboda 3361 at /neuro /neuro/article/introducing-open-science-meg MEG-BIDS will enhance data sharing, driving important research forward Thu, 16 Aug 2018 20:50:35 +0000 Victor Swoboda 3138 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/predicting-when-sound-will-occur-relies-brains-motor-system-271950 <h2>Research shows how the brain’s motor signals sharpen our ability to decipher complex sound flows</h2> <p>Whether it is dancing or just tapping one foot to the beat, we all experience how auditory signals like music can induce movement.
