New MIT Study Says Artificial Intelligence (AI) Can Help Us Map Consciousness
According to The Next Web, the team was able to observe patterns formed by the brain neurons that help us consider what other people could be feeling and thinking. In short, they are trying to track empathy in real-time, as it happens.
If expanded, this research could play an instrumental role in researching mental illness and social anxiety disorders. It can even be helpful in developing targeted, personalised treatments for people on the autism spectrum disorder.
But the most fascinating aspect of the study is it could finally offer some insight into understanding consciousness.
