Material Detail

How can data mining in hospitals help researchers find cures for the most harmful diseases? In TEDxYouth@Zurich 2016, Richard talks about his role in the Human Brain Project. He explains how neurologists and psychiatrists will use the results of data mining the masses of data in Europe’s hospital and research databases to develop new diagnostic schemas thus facilitating an era of precision medicine. Richard, a former brain doctor, studied medicine at the University of Cambridge, where he first became interested in neuroscience. His work includes the development of new techniques for MRI, as well as a study drawing a connection between the enlarged hippocampus and heightened navigational skills of London taxi drivers. He now works for the Human Brain Project, where he is in charge of its medical informatics platform.
