How To Understand The Machine Learning Family
In former posts I have given a quick-and-dirty overview of Machine Learning and related methodologies: “what most people call machine learning in neuroscience academic texts is known in other research contexts as pattern recognition, data mining, artificial intelligence (AI), computational…
Latest advances on Neurorehabilitation: moving forward!
As some of you know I am an entrepreneur leading a medical device company working on brain related technologies. Bust what most of you don´t know is that at personal level I also happen to have a very close relative,…
