RESEARCH SCHOOL. Research in the borderland between technology and health is becoming increasingly important. Now Chalmers University of Technology and Sahlgrenska Academy have together started a new collaboration, where pairs of researchers receive training in ways to solve health care challenges. The health care system is facing major challenges as our population increases and grows older. New technology can provide support and solutions, and technology focusing on health is also…
Justin Schneiderman’s new assignment supports management in AI developments
AI NYTT. We can use artificial intelligence for many things, including for organizing otherwise unmanageable amounts of data or developing software that helps in interpreting information-rich high-resolution x-ray images. In order to assist Sahlgrenska Academy researchers in staying up-to-date on this fast-developing field, management has appointed Justin Schneiderman to serve as an AI advisor for the faculty. In recent years, both competence and infrastructure for AI have taken great steps…

We will remember 2020 as a very strange year, the likes of which we will hopefully never have to experience again. On top of all…
Glutamate in the brain has unexpected qualities, researchers show with a new analysis method
STUDY. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University in Sweden have achieved something long thought almost impossible – counting the molecules of the neurotransmitter glutamate released when a signal is transferred between two brain cells. With a new analysis method, they showed that the brain regulates its signals using glutamate in more ways than previously realised. The ability to measure the activity and quantity of glutamate in brain…
