Two facts. One: over 2.8 million people suffer from multiple sclerosis and its debilitating symptoms (nationalmssociety). Two: As of March 2021, 9 in 10 hospitals have artificial intelligence strategies in place (healthitanalytics).

Neuromatter is proud to publish an ORIGINAL study that uses the power of artificial intelligence to detect multiple sclerosis in its infancy, perhaps even before the patient is born. How?

Stanford University is a global leader in neuroscience innovation and research. It also happens to be one of the most selective undergraduate schools in the world.

And now, researchers at Stanford’s Department of Neuroscience are teaching motivated students how to read and analyze scientific literature, and even conduct research just like them. The Neuromatter team is dedicated to sharing these lessons with you, growing the passion for scientific exploration and like Dr. Oddete Harris, founder of the Stanford Neuroscience Journal Club says, “shaping the future of neuroscience.”

Neuromatter will be meeting with Stanford researchers monthly, and sharing the techniques learned on our various social media platforms and website. Learn more at neuromatter.org/events.

If you are interested in joining Neuromatter’s team, be on the lookout for upcoming posts about a local chapter at AHS, where you too can collaborate with some of the best universities in the world and publish your own research for the world to see.

Hello Everyone!

Neuromatter has been committed to sharing neuroscience and technology since its founding. Now, we are pushing out one of our most anticipated courses yet: Designing a Neural Network to Predict Neurodegenerative Diseases.


Taking the beautiful science of biology and flawlessly combining it with the technology of the future has led to the development of AI in various aspects of healthcare. Artificial Intelligence is the future, and you can learn more about how to develop your own AI with real world medicinal applications through our series of YouTube videos being published on a rolling basis. Learn topics such as genetics, cell-immunology, neuroscience, logistical regression, advanced calculus, data analysis, gene expression tools, and much much more all in this one course.

Take a look at the few videos already published and get ready for much more content at: https://tinyurl.com/neuroaicourse

Hello Everyone!

Reminder that we have our AI/Tech Branch Meeting tomorrow (11/29) in Mr. Oviatt's room. This is the first meeting where we will actually start our project! We will be going in depth about the biology behind multiple sclerosis, and learning about complex topics such as immune system responses and glial cells.

Try to come early as the video material is quite long.

See you soon!

Hello!! Interested in learning more about artificial intelligence in medicine? Curious about the use of smart technology on biological sects? Want to learn more about Machine Learning, and even end up making your very own artificial intelligence program?

If you said yes to any of the above, come visit the AHS Neuroscience Club’s first technology branch meeting this Monday, November 1st in Mr. Oviatt's room (P-7). We will be going over some of our projects including but not limited to: 1) Constructing your very own neural network to detect early onset of Multiple Sclerosis (a common brain disease), using mRNA data, 2) Build a fully functional iOS app using convolutional neural networks to identify and treat plant diseases. We offer you the unique experience of being able to build many different types of these very prevalent technologies, so you can get a foothold in the technology of the future.

OFFICER POSITION RESULTS WILL BE DISPLAYED AT OUR MEETING AS WELL!!!

We hope to see you there!
