That's a beatboxer captured with real-time MRI and mapped with AI.
Shreen Arayanan runs USC's Signal Analysis and Interpretation Lab, which uses AI to analyze patterns in human signals to tackle big clinical questions, like studying beatboxers to understand how vocalization works to help preserve it in cancer patients, or identifying early signs of autism or depression when treatment can make the biggest difference.
But AI that can infer details about our health, mind, or identity carries real risks as well as real benefits.
