BRAIN Initiative: Brain-Behavior Quantification and Synchronization - Transformative Research on Behavior at the Organismal Level
Funds sensors and models that track complex behaviour and neural activity together, in real time, across species.
Understanding what an animal or a person is actually doing, and what their brain is doing at the same moment, usually means two separate experiments compared after the fact. This notice funds building the tools to do both at once.
It sits inside the BRAIN Initiative, the federal effort led by NIH to build new neurotechnology for studying brain function at unprecedented resolution. This piece of i…
Development of sensing technologies for minimally intrusive, high-resolution, synchronous measurement of multiple biobehavioural signals together with neural activity and environmental variables, plus analytic and computational methods producing new, testable models of neurobehavioural function as a dynamic system shaped by the organism's environment, in human and non-human subjects, with consortium participation built into the award.
