London – Forseeing to the emergence of Alzheimer’s with artificial intelligence ten years ago. The researchers at the Department of Physics at the University of Bari and at the local section of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics have also gained the attention of the international scientific-publishing press such as the magazine “New Scientist “. The researchers used magnetic resonance images to identify brain alterations that would predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by a decade in advance.
