Children’s Hospital Colorado released a study today that examines the efficacy of a neuromuscular training (NMT) intervention that may lead to new treatment approaches and better outcomes for athletes when they return to playing sports after a sports-related concussion. While preliminary, the findings indicate the risk of sports-related injuries for the year after a concussion among the control group (athletes who did not participate in the NMT intervention) was 3.6 times higher than the risk of injury in the group of athletes who completed the NMT training. The full study, funded by the Children’s Colorado Research Institute Pilot Award Program, is featured in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

An experiment, performed by INRIM in collaboration with Toshiba Europe on 200 km of the Italian Quantum Backbone, shows that coherent laser interferometry considerably improves the performances of quantum key distribution protocols in long-distance, real-world networks. The study has been published on Nature Communications.

MIT researchers created a method that helps humans develop a more accurate mental model of an artificial intelligence teammate, so they have a better understanding of when they should trust the AI agent’s algorithmic predictions.
