Description
The National Institutes of Health, through multiple institutes including NIDCD, NEI, NIA, and others, is soliciting exploratory research projects that utilize invasive neural recording and stimulation technologies in the human brain. The goal is to understand how neuronal activity in spatially organized networks relates to sensations, perceptions, emotions, thoughts, memories, and behaviors. Projects should focus on early-stage development and feasibility, employing quantitative and mechanistic models where appropriate. Recipients will join a consortium to establish standards, address neuroethical considerations, and share data with the scientific community.
