Deep neural networks show promise as models of human hearing | MIT News
Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study from MIT has found that modern computational models derived from machine learning are moving closer to this goal. In the largest study yet of deep neural networks…
A gene editing technique shows promise for lowering LDL cholesterol
PHILADELPHIA — Ten patients enrolled in the experimental drug trial, and they were the sickest of the sick. All had a genetic disorder that cranks up levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. Known as “bad cholesterol,” LDL cholesterol is infamous for clogging arteries. The patients’ disorder, called heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, can lead to severe heart…
