A study led by EPFL shows that when objects are difficult to see, mice don’t simply look harder. They move to find better viewpoints, adjusting their behavior according to how much visual information is available.

The European Research Council (ERC) awarded nine “ERC Advanced Grants” to EPFL researchers. This prestigious funding scheme gives senior researchers the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that could lead to major scientific breakthroughs.

An EPFL team has created a new Large Language Model that is structured similarly to a human brain, allowing users more control and moving away from “black box” AI.

EPFL startup WasteFlow has developed an AI-powered copilot that identifies and measures waste streams, helping sorting facilities work more efficiently. Support from several EPFL entrepreneurship programs helped the company accelerate the development of its technology.

MeditronFO is the first fully open framework for building medical large language models, to make AI in healthcare more transparent and accountable.

EPFL and CHUV researchers have developed the first AI-assisted, real-time deep-brain stimulation therapy for walking impairments in Parkinson’s disease.
