Overview

  • New machine learning system extracts heart rate data from pediatric fMRI scans
  • Eliminates need for external heart monitoring devices
  • Uses combination of CNN and GRU neural networks
  • Analyzes 628 brain regions simultaneously
  • Achieves 8% better accuracy than previous methods
  • Makes pediatric brain scanning simpler and more cost-effective

Plain English Explanation

Think of an fMRI machine as a giant camera that takes pictures of brain activity. Usually, doctors need to attach separate devices to measure a child's heartbeat during these scans. This is tricky because kids move around and the devices don't always work well.
