The Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at IISc has launched an AI challenge to advance early detection of cognitive decline.
The CBR has invited researchers from institutions across the country to develop predictive models using large-scale brain aging datasets, including longitudinal cohort data from India.
Six-month challenge
The six-month challenge is being held in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Disease Data Initiative (AD Data Initiative) and Microsoft Research India (MSR India).
“Early detection of the onset of cognitive decline can lead to scalable and affordable intervention strategies that can benefit senior citizens in the country. The use of AI could be a potential game changer to unravel hidden connections in our understanding of cognitive decline. This challenge is about the future and the CBR’s commitment to transforming the lives of millions using discovery and innovation. We invite India’s sharpest minds to join the CBR’s mission to understand and improve aging brain health,” said K.V.S. Hari, Director, Centre for Brain Research.
