As part of the BRAIN Initiative Alliance (BIA), we are proud to present two new additions to the BIA website! The Resources section now includes Toolmakers’ Resources, featuring products of BRAIN Initiative researchers. With open access resources such as the Human Neocortical Neurosolver and cytoNet, we hope that everyone finds something useful on the new page. The list of resources will continue to grow and opportunities to add your own BRAIN Initiative tool will be coming soon!

 In conjunction with the launch of the new Toolmakers’ Resources webpage, we are happy to announce the inaugural issue of the BRAIN Initiative Toolmakers Newsletter(7.51MB). The newsletters spotlight different BRAIN Initiative Investigators with tools, technologies, and/ or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance the field of neurotechnology. The first issue features Stephanie Jones, Philip Troyk, Talmo Pereira (a joint student in the labs of Mala Murthy and Joshua Shaevitz), Daniel Aharoni and Peyman Golshani. For instance, did you know that Ph.D. candidate Talmo Periera pioneered a new animal tracking software program called SLEAP. Check out the current and future newsletters for topics like this and more!
