Researchers developed an artificial intelligence model that accurately determines the sex of individuals based on brain scans, with over 90% success.

This article describes a new study using AI to identify sex differences in the brain with over 90% accuracy.

Key findings:

  • An AI model successfully distinguished between male and female brains based on scans, suggesting inherent sex-based brain variations.
  • The model focused on specific brain networks like the default mode, striatum, and limbic networks, potentially linked to cognitive functions and behaviors.
  • These findings could lead to personalized medicine approaches by considering sex differences in developing treatments for brain disorders.

Additional points:

  • The study may help settle a long-standing debate about the existence of reliable sex differences in the brain.
  • Previous research failed to find consistent brain indicators of sex.
  • Researchers emphasize that the study doesn’t explain the cause of these differences.
  • The research team plans to make the AI model publicly available for further research on brain-behavior connections.

Overall, the study highlights the potential of AI in uncovering previously undetectable brain differences with potential implications for personalized medicine.

    This shit is dumb as fuck. You start off with a 50/50 chance of guessing right to begin with. Then just ask do you like sports? There. You get to 98% acuracy without any fancy chips and circuit boards

    Edit: geez Lemmy, learn to take a joke

      Yeah except that it doesn’t need to ask questions but instead can tell it straight from the picture. An eye doctor can tell no difference between the irises of men an women.

      Turns out all those professional sportswomen were men this whole time!
