Neuroscientists have shown that blind people recognize basic faces using the same brain regions as sighted people – even if the face shapes are delivered as audio rather than through the visual cortex – in an interesting look into neuroplasticity.Conti… Continue reading Video-to-sound tech allows blind people to recognize faces
Kombucha, a sour drink made by fermenting sweetened tea, has shown some promise as a health-promoting beverage.

The findings reveal an eight-week mindfulness… Continue reading Mindfulness meditation matches antidepressants for anxiety disorders
Faster data breach notification time is emerging as a reliable application of artificial intelligence in the cybersecurity sector, a development that could help other industries better understand their own use of smarter technologies, a leading subject matter expert said on Monday. Dr. Frederic Lemieux, faculty director and professor of the practice for applied intelligence at Georgetown University, suggested that more efficient pattern recognition already is helping global companies spot anomalies in wide swaths of data. Unusual behaviors — such as an employee logging on to sensitive networks at odd hours, or an email attachment including nefarious data — are more likely to raise a red flag, pointing human analysts to possible security issues. “It’s simple,” Lemieux said during A.I. Week, an event produced by Scoop News Group. “The costs of cybersecurity are prohibitive and companies are facing situations where the average cost of a data breach in the United States […]

Encouraging results from a small Phase 2 human trial testing the effects of a cancer drug in treating Alzheimer’s disease have been published in the journal Annals of Neurology. The data suggests the drug is safe, well-tolerated and alters biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s. A larger efficacy study is currently planned.

U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein warned technology companies that Americans will not accept a culture in which encryption makes it impossible for law enforcement to investigate crimes, the latest comments in a long effort by the Department of Justice to find a way around end-to-end encryption. In a speech Thursday, Rosenstein urged tech firms to develop technology that keeps users’ data and communication as secure as possible, while also maintaining the ability to provide that information to law enforcement if it’s tied to an investigation. Firms including Apple, WhatsApp and others have introduced end-to-end encryption, a security measure that renders messages unreadable except to the sender and recipient. That type of technology is having “a dramatic impact on our cases, to the significant detriment of public safety,” Rosenstein said. Rosenstein’s remarks at Georgetown University Law Center’s Cybercrime Conference come amid the years-long “Going Dark” debate in which the public […]
