Neurologists and computer scientists at FAU have designed a shoe which monitors the movements of Parkinson’s patients and uses artificial intelligence to allow for more objective diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped that the system will bring about a lasting improvement to the mobility and quality of life of those suffering from neurological disorders.

The human brain is a hotbed of activity, with billions of neurons tirelessly communicating via trillions of synapses. One of the major benefits of this complexity is our ability to speak and understand language. Patrick Krauss is using artificial intelligence (AI) to research the neural basis of this ability.

Cycles have an important role to play in nature and technology, as demonstrated by water in the natural world and ventilation in an energy-efficient home.

Have you already ignored some rules or recommendations today and done something your way instead? The question is whether this was a good idea or not and whether others could even learn from you. Workarounds like these are a fascinating field of research for information systems specialists at FAU. Their findings are now so advanced that they can improve processes on a long-term basis.

Globalisation, contact restrictions, quarantine – a lot of what we are experiencing in conjunction with the coronavirus is not new, say medical historians. What has changed considerably is how we map and forecast how the disease spreads – an aspect IT experts, mathematicians and engineers are currently getting to grips with.

Enrique Zuazua is Humboldt Professor for Applied Analysis at FAU. As an expert in wave propagation, he is also studying the dynamics of the coronavirus pandemic.
