Researchers propose a new model for classifying Parkinson鈥檚
听
One of the things that makes developing effective treatments for Parkinson鈥檚 disease so challenging is its complexity. While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson鈥檚 is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.

Machine learning tutors affect learners in unforeseen ways, both positive and negative
Virtual reality simulators can help learners improve their technical skills faster and with no risk to patients. In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.
