For decades neuroscientists have been exploring the brain, yet the biological underpinnings of many mental and neurological disorders remain unknown. I will talk about how we use Explainable Artificial Intelligence to reveal differences between the brains of patients with various conditions and their healthy counterparts, even when these are too subtle or complex for the human eye.

Feeling lonely or cut off from others can shorten your life. A Norwegian study with 20 year follow-up data found that older adults who were socially isolated faced up to 16% higher risk of dying early. For men, even admitting to feeling lonely was linked to greater risk. Staying connected—especially with close family—can be a powerful key to longer life.

The presentation will explore the cross-disciplinary collaboration between human reproduction & veterinary medicine, highlighting opportunities for further research based on shared knowledge. My PhD project developed AI-driven solutions for spatial & temporal analysis of human embryo data. By integrating insights from animal data, we aim to create scalable & ethical solutions in ART domain.
