The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative, or The BRAIN Initiative®, aims to revolutionize our understand of the human brain. The BRAIN Initiative is a partnership between Federal and non-Federal partners with a common goal of accelerating the development of innovative neurotechnologies. Through the application and dissemination of these scientific advancements, researchers can produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space.
