An NIH / BRAIN Initiative Supported Research Project

Background

Development and validation of empirical models of the neuronal population activity underlying non-invasive human brain measurements
This is a collaborative project between 5 research laboratories in 3 institutes, supported by the National Institute of Health's BRAIN Initiative. The major goals of this project are to build empirically supported models of neural signals and BOLD signals in the human brain as a function of stimulus (visual and somatosensory) and task.
