This opportunity involves a research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focused on neural mechanisms for coordinating the sampling of environmental and internally stored information. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) - Products and Services Requested: - Neural recording equipment (quantity: 2) - For use in intracranial recordings from macaque cortex and human EEG studies - No specific OEMs or part numbers specified - Research and data collection services - Focused on neural mechanisms of information sampling coordination - Data analysis services - For analysis of neural data from both human and macaque studies - Notable Requirements: - Research addresses coordination of external and internal information sampling in the brain - Involves both human EEG and macaque intracranial recordings - Relevance to neuropsychiatric disorders such as ADHD and OCD - Emphasis on dual-task sampling, neuron functional segregation, and cross-species translation - No specific OEMs or vendors are named for the neural recording equipment - Total award amount is $49,538

Description

This solicitation seeks research on the neural mechanisms that coordinate the sampling of external environmental information and internally stored information to avoid competitive interference. The project involves intracranial recordings from macaque cortex and builds on human EEG studies to investigate shared neural resources and their coordination. The research aims to address debates in cognitive neuroscience and has relevance for understanding disorders such as ADHD and OCD. Key focus areas include neural basis of dual-task sampling, functional segregation of neurons, and cross-species translation between humans and macaques.
