ALT Our brains generate electrical signals whose unique patterns reveal information about aging, health, and even thoughts. This information is useful for studying brain disorders and developing novel therapies. However, traditional analysis methods can miss subtle but important brain-activity patterns. GREEN, introduced here, is an AI model that readily decodes brainwave patterns. By combining innovative mathematical tools with deep learning, GREEN detects subtle changes in brain activity with a low computational footprint while providing interpretable outputs that reveal insights into brain function.

ALT THE BIGGER PICTURE: Machine learning (ML) has a pseudoscience problem. An abundance of ethical issues arising from the use of ML-based technologies—by now, well documented—is inextricably entwined with the systematic epistemic misuse of these tools. We take a recent resurgence of deep-learning-assisted physiognomic research as a case study in the relationship between ML-based pseudoscience and attendant socialharms—the standard purview of ‘‘AI ethics.’’ In practice, the epistemic and ethical dimensions of ML misuseoften arise from shared underlying reasons and are resolvable by the same pathways. Recent use of ML toward the ends of predicting protected attributes from photographs highlights the need for philosophical, his- torical, and domain-specific perspectives of particular sciences in the prevention and remediation of misused ML
