#AIChat is a Twitter chat on artificial intelligence. Where my guests cut through the artificial intelligence (AI) noise. To help you make smarter AI decisions at work. Or at home.
On March 25th, 2019 my #AIChat guest was @nassaraf.
And instead of a live Twitter chat (it was competing with the Apple Event that day), I decided to post the #AIChat questions. With a one week cutoff to allow everyone to post their answers.
Here’s the AIChat recap of that day.
**** Mistakes are mine. ****
4/n Here are the #AIChat questions for @nassaraf:
Q1) How can VR help neurological issues like ADHD? #AIChat
Q2) What is the #AI element involved with it? #AIChat pic.twitter.com/P4e7T7ONft— Nick Tang (@nickhtang) March 25, 2019

A1 #VR #AR & #XR can help ADHD by stimulating different parts of the brain & providing alternate pathways to guided retention but real benefits come from #AI augmented neural programming which although has its➕➖ can correct 🤔 #AIChat

Q2 The #AI element can see which areas of the brain are being effected & reprogram those areas or can load information which would otherwise be problematic for retention 🤔 #AIChat

A1) Thank you @nickhtang! I think I’m making it just in the “Nick” of time 😏.
Here’s my take: #VR‘s great for practicing games where your neuro skills are weak, the idea being that you can create new neural pathways, or strengthen old ones through multi-sensory feedback. #AIchat— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A1) Cont’d:
If you have social skill issues, a good example would be a #VR game to interactively practice social behaviors. You could score points for socially acceptable behaviors on a point system, and with practice, you’ll be able to understand social behaviors in IRL.#AIchat— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A1) Cont’d
Memory games for example, help different neurological issues like #alzheimer‘s, #ADHD, and more.
For Alzheimer’s VR treatment, imagine practicing how to get “lost” the middle of a town and practice being able to find the grocery store, post office, etc.#AIchat— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A1) Cont’d
Here’s a good article about Alzheimer’s VR treatments: https://t.co/TtnTbWncGJ#AIchat— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A1) Cont’d
One night, I met @mayabourdeau, founder of https://t.co/cWP15kiGZO. They create video experiences for end of life #storytelling.What if that can become a VR game? It would be self-created rehab exercise insurance in case you ever get diagnosed w/ Alzheimer’s#AIchat
— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A1) Another good one is Project EVO from @AkiliLabs. They are creating #VR games for #ADHD kids to practice memory, and get this- to REPLACE meds.https://t.co/FAQyEbY5x3
#AIChat— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A2) #AI is the best solution for pattern recognition, and with supervision, can be helpful with diagnosis.
If we look at brain scans, we can see how ADHD brains work very differently (and interestingly have higher incidence of Alzheimer’s)https://t.co/HUKPLRs59z#AIchat pic.twitter.com/GImuCaJf5w— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A2) So, if we can use #AI to understand pattern recognitions not just of brain scans, but also of symptoms in actual cases that are recorded, it can help ADHD sufferers learn how to cope with things like deadlines, “boring” tasks, and so on. #AIchat
— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A2) What’s really difficult to accept is the current testing system for ADHD. A lot of it is parental or teacher feedback, which is bothersome, because feedback is always tainted with bias.#AIchat
— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A2) In Project Evo (mentioned above), this game adjusts to the gamer’s speed, constantly testing how well their reaction time is, while keeping them engaged with faster music and other stimuli. #AIchat
— ᑎᗩOᗰI ᗩᔕᔕᗩᖇᗩᖴ 👩🏽💻 (@nassaraf) April 1, 2019
A2) So to conclude, #AI can help identify neurological issues and help to rebuild neurological pathways, while #VR is an immersive and *SAFE* (keyword) environment for the patient to explore their mental therapy.#AIchat #Mentalhealth

I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz reply as I’m looking to create my ownn blog and
would like to know where u got this from. many thanks
Hi! All I did was subscribe to the premium version of WordPress!
Hi there excellent blog! Does running a blog similar to this require
a massive amount work? I’ve absolutely no expertise in coding but I
had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you
have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please
share. I understand this is off subject however I simply needed to ask.
Cheers!
Focus on the “why.” As in “why do you want to start a blog?” Find the answer to this = success. Running a blog doesn’t require that much work. Just write and post when you want to.
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
WordPress.com has a free account option. I’d start there.
Hi! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely
enjoy reading through your posts. Can you recommend any other
blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects?
Thanks a lot!

I couldn’t resist commenting. Exceptionally well written!
Great article, just what I needed.
Amazing! Its truly remarkable article, I have got much
clear idea concerning from this piece of writing.
Thank you!
I’m glad you learned a lot from it!
Why viewers still make use of to read news papers
when in this technological world the whole thing is presented
on net?
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or
outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up
all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help protect
against content from being ripped off? I’d definitely
appreciate it.
The only thing I can think of is finding some sort of watermark to imbed in your articles. I’ve personally haven’t haven’t run into any issues when it comes to copyright infringement.
Great blog you have here.. It’s hard to find high-quality writing like
yours these days. I truly appreciate people like you!
Take care!!
Thank you!
I am curious to find out what blog system you’re using?
I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d
like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any recommendations?
I’m using WordPress premium.
Your style is so unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from.
Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll
just book mark this site.
Pretty! This was an extremely wonderful post. Thanks for supplying these details.

You should continue your writing. Ӏ’m sure, you’ve ɑ
great readers’ bаse already!
Excellent site you have here.. It’s hard to find high-quality writing like yours these days.
I truly appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!
Why users still use to read news papers when in this technological
globe everything is available on web?
(1) you’ll gradually see that a lot of publishers (newspapers, magazines etc) are heading towards a pay wall (2) it’s nice to have an actual paper or print version of a magazine in front of you. It’s easier to browse.
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to
the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for inexperienced blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
Thank you for your kind comments -> (1) focus on what you’re passionate about (2) take your time in writing about X (X = blog post). As you can tell, I don’t write that often (unless it’s for my #AIChat recaps). But when I do, it’s a throughly researched post. Let me know if this helps!
You’re so cool! I don’t think I’ve read
through something like that before. So great to find someone
with some unique thoughts on this subject.
Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that
is required on the internet, someone with a little originality!
Thank you!
Great site you have here.. It’s hard to find good quality
writing like yours these days. I really appreciate individuals
like you! Take care!!
You’re welcome!
I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re working with?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I
would like to find something more safeguarded. Do
you have any solutions?
WordPress.com See if Squarespace.com works for you.
I һave not checked in here for a whіle since I thought it was
ցetting boгing, but the last ѕevеral posts arе great quality so I guess I’ll add ʏou back to my daily bloglist.
You deserve it friend 🙂
Thanks! You’re guaranteed a weekly “how tech impacts the media and entertainment world” roundup from me on Thursdays!
Thank you for every other wonderful post. The place else could anybody get
that kind of information in such a perfect approach of writing?
I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the search
for such info.
Thank you! I’d do a Google search!
Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was
wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted
to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Most blogs will give you both options: WYSIWYG or you can code with HTML. It’s up to you.
I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your website.
It appears like some of the written text in your content are running off the
screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know
if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my
internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers
It could be your Internet browser (see if clearing the cache and cookies does the trick). Everything is working okay when I browse my website.
Great website you have here but I was curious if you knew of
any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get advice from other
experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions,
please let me know. Cheers!
I’m not familiar with any on WordPress. Definitely try Twitter (in the search engine, type VR) or Facebook Groups (use VR or virtual reality).
I truly love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme.
Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create
my own personal site and would love to know where you
got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Thanks!
Hey! Nope. I used the templates in WordPress.com
Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up
of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m
looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you
could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hey! I’m using the premium edition of WordPress. Maybe Squarespace.com?
After I originally left a comment I seem to have
clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from
now on each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment.
Is there an easy method you are able to remove me
from that service? Cheers!
Hmmmm….let me look into this. I might have to delete your first comment to see if this prevents you from getting additional comments (if I do this and you continue to receive the emails, let me know).
Update. What you need to do is go back to your original comment, and unclick the “Notify me when I receive new comments” button (I tried to search for your original comment but nothing shows up. And I can’t do anything at my end).
