Scientific paper, hit rate AI assigns gender[edit]

Hello,
I am looking for a good scientific paper (or a book) that statistically analyzes the accuracy with which a trained neural network can assign gender based on brain scans.

AI and gender. Yep that sounds like it would be a winner on Twitter ;-) I think they'd be wishing themselves an interesting life! NadVolum (talk) 11:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously the neural network would have to be trained to acknowledge the superiority of the female brain... MinorProphet (talk) 11:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC) [reply]

That may depend on the gender the AI self-assigns. -- Verbarson ^talk_edits 12:13, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I asked a trained neural network that insisted that these are real studies that have investigated the neural correlates of gender identity:

Most of them do correspond to something real though bits do seem to be changed or made up. I'm impressed, it's a good response to start working from. Kind of what you'd get from an expert who didn't have their notes with them. NadVolum (talk) 11:25, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
