A team at UC Berkeley has created a new statistical technique that allows researchers to safely use the predictions obtained from machine learning to test scientific hypotheses. This image shows an artistic interpretation of the technique, called prediction-powered inference, which has been generated by the DALL-E AI system.

A comparison of human brain scans using the NexGen 7T MRI at higher resolution (left) vs a standard 7T scanner (middle) and the standard 3T hospital scanner (right). With higher resolution, neuroscientists can more precisely localize signals (orange) in the brain to understand normal brain circuitry and the changes associated with brain disorders.
