Scientists say they have made a groundbreaking development in the battle against dementia that could mean s up to nine years before traditional diagnostic methods catch on. Diagnosis of has been flipped on its head, thanks to the fusion of machine learning and a decade-long study known as the Biobank project, which has been keeping tabs on the well-being of thousands of Brits. have been poring over more than 1000 MRI scans and are touting a new test as being over 80 percent accurate, based on initial results.
The unique aspect of this new test is that it doesn't just look at your brain's structure; it actually observes the brain in action when you're lost in thought. But as we march forward in an era where medical technology is evolving at breakneck speed and conditions like dementia are on the rise, the team at Medical News Today sought insights from top neurologists and researchers about how game-changing this new test really is, and they've identified one significant snag. At Queen Mary University of London, researchers have been busy analyzing 1,111 functional MRIs (fMRIs) from individuals who were dementia-free at the time and ran them through a machine learning algorithm.
They then matched this data with subjects who eventually got diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease, as reported by Gloucestershire Live. What's innovative about this approach is that it zeroes in on your brain's downtime the "default mode." The researchers discovered that a relaxed mental state, o.
