And I realized that all the gigabytes of data that we're collecting every time, are not just for scientific
imaging.
In the past decade or so, mainly due to advances in brain
imaging
technology such as magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, neuroscientists have started to look inside the living human brain of all ages, and to track changes in brain structure and brain function, so we use structural MRI if you'd like to take a snapshot, a photograph, at really high resolution of the inside of the living human brain, and we can ask questions like, how much gray matter does the brain contain, and how does that change with age?
Without needles and radioactivity, without any kind of clinical reason, we can go down the street and record from your friends' and neighbors' brains while they do a variety of cognitive tasks, and we use a method called functional magnetic resonance
imaging.
And we built software that'll link functional magnetic resonance
imaging
devices up over the Internet.
So in the same way that we actually see the effects of video games on people's behavior, we can use brain
imaging
and look at the impact of video games on the brain, and we do find many changes, but the main changes are actually to the brain networks that control attention.
Now, when we do brain imaging, we find that all three of these networks are actually much more efficient in people that play action games.
My colleagues Tal Yarkoni and Russ Poldrack have shown that the insula pops up in almost a third of all brain
imaging
studies that have ever been published.
SPECT
imaging
is a brain-scanning technology that uses a radioactive tracer to track blood flow in the brain.
But these clinics have treated tens of thousands of patients to date, many of them children, and SPECT
imaging
involves a radioactive injection, so exposing people to radiation, potentially harmful.
It involves the work of engineers, of
imaging
scientists, of basic scientists, of neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, and certainly at the interface of these multiple disciplines that there's the excitement.
All of these questions that philosophers have been studying for millennia, we scientists can begin to explore by doing brain imaging, and by studying patients and asking the right questions.
In fact, when they put it into the jawbone, it could integrate into the jaw, and we know now with very sophisticated
imaging
technologies that part of that integration comes from the fact that this material is designed in a very specific way, has a beautiful chemistry, has a beautiful architecture.
Recently, we've also begun experimenting with thermal
imaging
cameras.
Two of our instruments are very unique: one is called an
imaging
spectrometer that can actually measure the chemical composition of plants as we fly over them.
Wasn't there a way to build a smaller, simpler, new satellite design that could enable more timely
imaging?
Traditional
imaging
satellites use a line scanner, similar to a Xerox machine, and as they traverse the Earth, they take pictures, scanning row by row by row to build the complete image.
Well, it turns out
imaging
satellites have a unique ability to provide global transparency, and providing that transparency on a timely basis is simply an idea whose time has come.
There's a lot of new
imaging
techniques being proposed, some even by me, but given the recent success of MRI, first we need to ask the question, is it the end of the road with this technology?
To that end, we used
imaging
tools such as MRI, to look inside my body, to figure out the geometries and locations of various tissues.
We combine these
imaging
and robotic data to build a mathematical description of my biological limb, shown on the left.
I used magnetic resonance
imaging
to capture the actual shape of the patient's anatomy, then use finite element modeling to better predict the internal stresses and strains on the normal forces, and then create a prosthetic socket for manufacture.
In patients who, unfortunately, are suspected of these diseases, an expert physician first orders very expensive medical
imaging
technologies such as fluorescent imaging, CTs, MRIs, to be performed.
As you can see, this is a very resource-intensive process, requiring both expert physicians, expensive medical
imaging
technologies, and is not considered practical for the developing world.
Large amounts of data, expert physicians and expert medical
imaging
technologies.
We have invented a variety of unorthodox AI architectures to solve some of the most important challenges facing us today in medical
imaging
and clinical trials.
For our second goal, to reduce the use of expensive medical
imaging
technologies to screen patients, we started with a standard, white light photograph, acquired either from a DSLR camera or a mobile phone, for the patient.
More importantly, our algorithms can accept, in the future and even right now, some very simple, white light photographs from the patient, instead of expensive medical
imaging
technologies.
And here, we use an existing form of mass spectrometry
imaging
technology that we have further developed and adapted specifically for the molecular and
imaging
analysis of fingerprints.
Mass spectrometry
imaging
can help us further.
My research team and I have tried to understand where this fear of math comes from, and we've actually peered inside the brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging, of people who are worried about math.
