NYU Researchers Invent New AI Test for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Source:  US Army New Test Based on Speech Patterns The new, artificial intelligence enabled test for PTSD has an accuracy rate of 89%.   Until now, physicians have diagnosed PTSD based on self-referrals and one-on-one conversations.  This new computer program analyses the patient's speech patterns for indications of the disorder such as unclear speech and a lifeless tone.  For more details on this, go to Important Innovations Collection: PTSD: New Detection System - Speech : AI Identifies PTSD Based on Snippets of Speec h Source:  US Army Medical Tech Breakthrough from NYU School of Medicine Researchers a...

Schools of Robot Fish

Bioinspired Robots that Mimic Fish Zebrafish Fish Tech Tale Scientists at New York University have developed  bioinspired robot fish.  The robots "see" and imitate the movements of fish in real time.  The purpose is to get a better understanding of marine life. What's Different - 2-Way Interaction in 3D Scientists have used biomimetic robots to better understand animal behavior.  Until now, it's been 1-dimensional.  The animals observe and respond to the robots.  NYU has created a system for 2-way interaction in 3 dimensions. Latest Tech The NYU team uses the latest in real-time tracking software and robotics.  They've created the 1st closed loop control system with a robot zebrafish interacting in 3D with a live zebrafish. Findings The live fish accepts its robot replica with no signs of fear or anxiety.  The scientists say this system gives them a new baseline for research.  They can measure the fish's responses in real-time and allow the ro
