🧠 The future of brain health research is here — and it's powered by AI.

We are proud to announce a $640K investment in eight new projects through OBI's Centre for Analytics (CfA), advancing AI-powered brain health research across Ontario and beyond.

These projects will use artificial intelligence, secure data analytics, and OBI's NeuroFL federated learning platform to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in brain health, including neurodevelopmental conditions, concussion, epilepsy, neurodegeneration, and mental health.

This discussion of the Monty Hall problem inspired me to post about an under appreciated way in which the same counterintuitive finding appears in genetics. It comes from a real world example I teach about in my undergraduate genetics class.

As you enjoy the holiday season, remember to take care of your brain too!

Here’s an easy holiday tip: Go for a skate, a ski or a
neighbourhood walk. Staying active boosts your mood and your blood circulation, greatly improving your #brainhealth.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday from everyone at OBI! 🎄
