Mizzou Engineering team using explainable machine learning to combat cybersickness
Nausea, headaches, dizziness. Just as motion sickness can ruin an otherwise pleasant road trip, cybersickness can make virtual reality unbearable for some users. That’s a problem as even the federal government has prioritized spending to incorporate immersive technology in educational, medical and commercial settings. In hopes of mitigating the effects of cybersickness, a Mizzou Engineering team has come up with TruVR, a framework for developing a cybersickness detection method based on explainable machine learning. Khaza Anuarul Hoque In other words, they’re developing a system that could predict and explain cybersickness which can ultimately aid in preventing cybersickness in…

Blockchain could be key to connecting patients with clinical trials
Blockchain technology could help connect patients to clinical trials. Before a prescription drug or device can become available to the general public, it has to go through clinical trials to determine its safety and effectiveness. The problem is that most people don’t even know these trials exist, let alone how to participate in them. Chi-Ren Shyu, Shumaker Professor in electrical engineering and computer science, believes blockchain is the key to connecting patients to the companies developing potentially life-saving treatments. Shyu is also director of the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics. Chi-Ren Shyu Blockchain is a…
