Neurotechnology for Memory and Cognition

Neuroscientists and engineers joining forces to understand the brain

In an age of modern medicine and rapidly changing technology, humans still don’t know a full list of the brain’s parts or a complete list of its cells. Researchers in this working group want to change that by bringing together experts in spectroscopy, spectrometry, electrochemistry, optics, genetics, nanotechnology and informatics.

In an age of modern medicine and rapidly changing technology, humans still don’t know a full list of the brain’s parts or a complete list of its cells. Researchers in this working group want to change that by bringing together experts in spectroscopy, spectrometry, electrochemistry, optics, genetics, nanotechnology and informatics.

They’re studying and finding new ways to image the brain’s chemistry, physical properties and changes over time. They’re finding new ways to fight cancer, treat opioid addiction and help society improve brain health.
