Can AI predict Alzheimer’s disease?

Nikita Goel (left) is a graduate student in Paul Thompson’s lab at the University of Southern California (CA, USA). Goel’s research is concerned with how we can leverage machine learning as much as possible to gain a greater understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. She works as part of the AI team in Thompson’s lab, utilizing many different datasets to study Alzheimer’s progression. The AI team works closely alongside the biological team, who help gather the relevant data. In this interview from the meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), Neuroscience 2023 (11–15 November; Washington DC, USA), Digital Editor Annie Coulson spoke...
