The BRAIN Blog

NeuroAI research lies at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) and is poised to jumpstart a future that includes virtual neuroscience.

Dr. Seth Koslov is a BRAIN F32 award recipient who used the funding opportunity to study the functional anatomy correlated to executive functions and episodic memory retrieval in the human brain. The fellowship supports the research training of promising postdoctorates early in their postdoc training period.

This year’s recap article of the 2024 BRAIN Initiative Photo and Video Contest covers the exciting neuroscience research showcased and commemorates 10 years of BRAIN Initiative science.

Have you read the latest BRAIN Initiative Alliance newsletter? BRAIN scientists are invited to share their tools with the scientific community in the Toolmakers Newsletter. These newsletters spotlight BRAIN Initiative investigators with tools, technologies, or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance neurotechnology.  

In August, members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative’s Neuroethics Working Group (NEWG) and Multi-Council Working Group (MCWG) met to discuss ethical considerations related to artificial intelligence (AI) in neuroscience research, as well as updates from NEWG and MCWG members.

The BRAIN Initiative is marking a milestone—10 years of advancing neuroscience and neurotechnology research by funding innovative projects. As part of a rotating series of blog posts, the directors of the BRAIN Initiative-partnering NIH Institutes and Centers share their voice and perspectives on the impact BRAIN has made on their respective missions—and vice versa.
