...potentially stroke-causing genes. The model—called a Bayesian network—differs from existing methods that examine only the effect of a single factor, instead allowing researchers to study the interaction of multiple genes. The study, released last month, found the formula could predict a person??s risk for the most common stroke in the U.S. with 86 percent accuracy—which the researchers said was a significant improvement over previous models, which only predicted risk with 50 percent accuracy. Originally used for artificial intelligence, the Bayesian network was used to screen...

Along with the absence of titles, the eyes encourage spectators to bring their own experiences to the painting while trying to discover what...
