Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing brain data using autoencoder neural networks. One of the methods includes obtaining brain data captured by one or more sensors characterizing brain activity of a patient; processing the brain data to generate modified brain data that characterizes a predicted local effect of a future treatment on the brain of the patient; processing the modified brain data using an autoencoder neural network to generate reconstructed brain data; and determining, using the reconstructed brain data, a predicted global effect of the future treatment on the brain of the patient.
