UC Berkeley Study Finds AI Can Help Detect Alzheimer's Earlier

A study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley has shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to detect Alzheimer's disease earlier than traditional methods. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that AI could identify early signs of the disease in brain scans up to 20 years before symptoms appear.

UC Berkeley Researchers Develop New Method for Studying Brain Connectivity

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a new method for studying brain connectivity that could lead to new insights into how the brain works. The method, called "connectome-based predictive modeling," uses machine learning to predict how the brain will respond to different stimuli based on its connectivity.

UC Berkeley Scientists Create New Type of Solar Cell

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have created a new type of solar cell that is more efficient and less expensive than existing technologies. The new solar cell, called a "quantum dot solar cell," uses tiny semiconductor particles called quantum dots to convert sunlight into electricity.
