If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see.</p> Tue, 11 May 2021 12:52:31 +0000 webfull 170508 at /channels /channels/channels/news/bridging-gap-between-ai-and-clinic-320255 <p>The power of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine lies in its ability to find important statistical patterns in large datasets.
