Artificial Intelligence Model for Cognitive Assessment for infants and Children

Project description

Early diagnosis and early intervention in brain damage

Advances in technology can help advance our understanding of human brain development and enable early diagnosis of damage. AI can speed up the process, helping the medical research community to explore the underlying reasons for faulty brain development in premature babies. The EU-funded AIM_COACH project will focus on this issue. Specifically, it will analyse the electroencephalography signals of infants and small children in order to document normal and abnormal brain development in full-term and premature infants. The next step will be to develop an AI-based cognitive assessment system for real-time analysis in order to facilitate learning in infants and young children who show signs of developmental delay and learning problems.

Objective

The development of the understanding of normal and especially pathological human brain development is as important as ever, and has the potential to unlock enormous clinical benefits. It is essential to understand the underlying reasons that leads to faulty brain development in premature babies, we need to undertake studies that investigate these reasons so as to use the results to provide at-risk infants with an early diagnosis of brain damage and start intervention while the brain is still plastic. AIM_COACH: Artificial Intelligence Model for Cognitive Assessment for infants and Children, intends to answer all these questions. Objective of this research is to document normal and abnormal brain development in full-term and premature infants by analysing Electroencephalography (EEG) signals of infants and small children. To this end, researcher will develop an Artificial intelligence based Cognitive Assessment system for real time analysis in order to facilitate learning in infants and young children who show signs of developmental delay and learning problems. It will be offered as an intervention programme to those children that are likely to benefit most from an early diagnosis and early intervention before school age. Marie Skłodowska- Curie Actions- Individual Fellowships Call (MSCA-IF) which is purely a research and training fellowship provides a conducive environment in realising the objectives of AIM_COACH and offers an ideal ambience for developing skills to reach future career objectives in view of the researcher’s competitiveness for permanent academic posts at the world’s leading-100 universities.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
