In just shy of 4 weeks we will start with our evening course on #Philosophy of #AI . https://lnkd.in/epn3V2XX . Do not forget to enroll. 🎉 Prof. Roger Vergauwen will guide you through the following topics: - Introduction: what is AI and what is its history? - Can machines think? Can they be intelligent or do they only act intelligently? - Machine consciousness: can AI be self-aware and and would that ever be so in the same way humans are self-aware? - The Limits of AI: Are there inherent limits to the computational project behind AI? - Can Machines be alive? Artificial Life (Alife) and its prospects. - Ethics of AI: Should AI be regulated and what are the social and political implications? Co-organized by Leuven.AI and VAIA - Flanders AI Academy .

📲Calling aspiring Una Europa healthcare innovators! Are you ready to make a difference in healthcare while enhancing your programming skills? Join the Una Europa Epilepsy Data Challenge and apply Machine Learning (ML) to tackle one of the most pressing neurological health challenges: epilepsy. 📊👩💻 The Challenge Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, yet 30% of patients continue to experience seizures despite medication. To improve treatment decisions, precise seizure detection is key. In this challenge, you’ll leverage ML to analyze EEG data from wearable devices worn by over 200 epilepsy patients, aiming to accurately detect seizure events. You can make a change for patient care! 🤔📑What to Expect The challenge kicks off with an online workshop on 3 February, where participants will gain access to the dataset and guidance from experts. Regular Q&A sessions will keep you supported throughout. In April, join a hybrid workshop to present findings to leading experts in neuroscience, ML, signal processing and cognitive science. 🙋Why Participate? ◾ Work on a real-world, high-quality dataset in an international collaborative environment. ◾ Collaborate with experts in neuroscience and ML to advance EEG data collection and analysis techniques. ◾ High-scoring participants can win a ‘wild card’ to attend the workshop in Leuven! This opportunity is open to master’s students and doctoral researchers in biomedical engineering, software engineering, IT for health, or equivalent fields, enrolled at Una Europa universities. Basic programming skills are needed, and experience with biomedical signals is a plus. 👉 Ready to Make a Difference? Apply individually or as a team (up to three members) by 20 January: https://lnkd.in/eSQcAV9h Can’t find a team?

🚀 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚎 🔬 🌟 Breaking New Ground in Speech Neuroprosthetics 🌟 The latest research article, "Detecting imagined speech events from brain signals", which has been recently published in Nature Portfolio and is now featured in our VSC Research Showcase, presents a breakthrough in the field of speech neuroprosthetics. 🧠 Across the globe, millions face speech disorders. For those with anarthria or ALS, traditional communication methods often fall short. Enter speech neuroprostheses—devices that translate brain signals directly into speech signals, bypassing impaired motor functions. 🔬 In this groundbreaking study, researchers used electrocorticography (ECoG) to record brain signals and detect imagined speech events. The key? Harnessing VSC's powerful infrastructure to process data from 16 participants and 588 electrodes at an unprecedented scale. 🗣️ Key Findings: 🔸Imagined speech events were detected in 10 out of 16 participants. 🔸Brain regions such as the motor cortex and temporal regions showed activity changes, though imagined speech revealed the weakest signals. 🔸The study successfully analyzed transfer models between speech modes (speaking, listening, imagining speaking) and participants. 📈 Each electrode's performance in detecting speech modes was visualized, showing the challenge of detecting imagined speech compared to speaking or listening. 💡 With innovative models and high-performance computing, this research is a significant leap toward improving life-changing technologies for those unable to speak. 👉 Read here: https://lnkd.in/eFByy_4h 🔖 More research articles at 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚎 here https://lnkd.in/eYvbVbKf 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to receive our latest news, events, and research articles at https://lnkd.in/eykCh2c #Innovation #Technology #Research #Science #STEM #AcademicResearch #ResearchAndDevelopment #ScientificResearch #ResearchInnovation #ResearchShowcase #hpc #supercomputer #data

Check out our new Leuven.AI #Story on #AI -driven #cancer #research . This story has been put together as a result of a continuous collaboration between three KU Leuven institutes and the many researchers affiliated to them. 👉 For #AI researchers: the story provides a lot of insights on cancer biology and medical technologies and how they open up a wide range of research opportunities for AI. 👉 For #cancer researchers: the story provides a basic overview of the most common AI approaches applied to the different data modalities, incl. the challenges that arise to gain relevant insights. 👉 For all others: this is a good overview of what we are working on to advance cancer research with the help of AI. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAAux_fJ Lastly, KU Leuven Institute for Single Cell Omics (LISCO) , Leuven Kankerinstituut and Leuven.AI are already developing further collaborations as we speak. We are looking forward to enable and support research at the intersection of one of the most prevalent diseases and, arguably, the most powerful technology of our current time.

It was a pleasure to co-host the ITEA SMART-EM meeting at the KU Leuven Department of Computer Science last week, together with Siemens Digital Industries Software ! In short, SmartEM aims to address the limitations of current engineering models by developing a reference architecture for engineering model spaces. The architecture will enable the reuse, exchange and integration of computational engineering models, reducing the need for costly design corrections and promoting early data and model exchanges. SmartEM will use AI-assisted methods to create surrogate models from heterogeneous data sources and allow their re-combination within a given engineering domain. Thank you for the excellent coordination, Roger van Galen and Olga K. With the valued support of ITEA Office and VLAIO , with partners from 🇳🇱🇩🇪🇹🇷🇧🇪 #DataDrivenEngineering #AI
