India unveils ‘MANAS 1’: AI trained on 60,000 hours of brainwaves aims to detect disorders early
NEW DELHI: Artificial intelligence may soon help doctors “read” the brain before disease becomes visible. An Indian team has unveiled MANAS 1, a Brain Language Foundation Model built on 60,000 hours of brainwave recordings from more than 25,000 patients, with the aim of enabling earlier detection of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Developed by Intellihealth (NeuroDx), led by neurologist Dr Puneet Agarwal, former Professor at All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, and his team, the model was launched during an AI summit and released as open source on Hugging Face.
