The Brain Initiative

The Brain Initiative is a large-scale research effort launched by the U.S. government to better understand the human brain's structure and function. Its goal is to advance neuroscience by developing new technologies to map brain activity and connections in unprecedented detail. This initiative aims to uncover the complexities of brain disorders, enhance treatments for mental and neurological diseases, and improve our understanding of cognition and behavior. By fostering collaboration among scientists, engineers, and institutions, the initiative seeks to accelerate breakthroughs that could transform medicine and enhance our knowledge of the brain.
