Early stage results using machine learning (ML) show the ability to identify a high percentage of infants who would later be diagnosed with autism and a 100% correct rejection of those who did not. Researchers from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis used ML on fcMRI images of the infants’ brains while sleeping. (June 7, 2017)
