Attention-enhanced deep learning may improve seizure prediction from EEG signals
Science Exploration Press
Researchers publishing in Computational Biomedicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence framework that improves epileptic seizure prediction by combining bidirectional long short-term memory networks with a channel attention mechanism. The study highlights how interpretable deep learning models may help identify critical preictal EEG patterns and support the development of more reliable seizure prediction systems.Researchers publishing in Computational Biomedicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence framework that improves epileptic seizure prediction by combining bidirectional long short-term memory networks with a channel attention mechanism.

AI could transform how scientists detect and understand microplastic pollution
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural University
Microplastics are now found across oceans, soils, food chains, and even human biological samples. Yet scientists still face a major challenge: these tiny particles are difficult to detect, track, and link to health risks using traditional laboratory methods alone. A new perspective article argues that artificial intelligence could help change that.
