Amazing to see this out! We show that fNIRS combined with machine learning in the first days after serious brain injury can predict outcome in the ICU, outperforming clinical models. Stunning work by my PhD student Matthew Kolisnyk and co (no paywall). rdcu.be/fvL0B

I am looking for motivated postdoc candidates to apply for the SECIHTI postdoctoral fellowship.
If you are a machine learning researcher interested in neuroimaging (specifically fNIRS) and meet the fellowship criteria, please reach out! The deadline is near.

In 2025, JAMA Otolaryngology marked its centennial with a 7% increase in submissions, an Impact Factor of 5.6, and >6.3 million article views.
Read “JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery—The Year in Review, 2025,” by Jay F. Piccirillo, MD.

This review summarizes recent deep learning advances in otolaryngology, including diagnostic models with expert-level accuracy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and otologic pathology.

ALT Figure 3 displays deep learning models for prognostication and risk stratification in oropharyngeal cancer. It shows A: High combined score, B: Intermediate combined combined score, C: Low combined score, with HPV positive to negative gradient.

Congrats to @SergioNovi and @NithyaNavarat for this review of deep learning in otolaryngology. Newer models ≠ better clinical outcomes.

Our new paper in AJRCCM shows how AI & 5.5M+ MRI slices from 12K kids can predict brain outcomes in children who snore.
Smaller upper airway volume = lower cognition + less gray matter.

Excited to share our new paper using fNIRS to investigate the neural correlates of sleep-disordered breathing in children! 86 patients. A big deal for #fnirs!
More to come. Stay tuned!
Our new paper in @OTOjournals unveils how we use functional neuroimaging to assess executive function in children w/ sleep disordered breathing.
Really proud of our team @NithyaNavarat @SergioNovi @sophiaeuddin @danielfong_ @HeatherBortfeld for this work!

Great talk by our rising chief @sophiaeuddin at @UMMC ENT’s annual Blanchard Kleiman Lectures!
A great spotlight on how we’re using #fNIRS to assess executive function in children with SDB.

Want to know how you can use functional near-infrared spectroscopy to detect consciousness? Let us show you (no paywall). @karnig_kazazian @MatthewKolisny1 @DebickiDerek @lorettaenorton @SergioNovi pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
Amazing work led by Dr. @lorettaenorton
Dr. Loretta Norton, Assistant Professor of Psychology, is leading a research team, including two @KingsAtWestern alumni, to better predict recovery after severe brain injuries. Read more about her research in the latest issue of the King’s Herald.

Using fMRI imaging and machine learning, @SchulichMedDent researchers discovered they could predict which patients would recover from a serious brain injury with an accuracy of 80%. #WesternU news.westernu.ca/2023/09/ai-…
Sergio Novi retweeted
Will a patient on life support end up in a vegetative state or wake up?
Using an algorithm, #WesternU's @Comadork, @lorettaenorton, @karnig_kazazian & @MatthewKolisny1 were able to accurately predict a patient’s possible recovery after a brain injury.

Can a machine learning algorithm predict who is going to recover from a serious brain injury in the ICU? *spoiler* Yes, it can. Brilliant work by
