Alan Jasanoff: Molecular Probes for Noninvasive Neuroimaging
The B.R.A.I.N. Initiative faces a major technological barrier in obtaining high resolution, real-time recordings of brain activity over large areas of the brain. Leading researchers will explore available and promising approaches to surmounting that barrier, exploring current work and future possibilities for the detection and recording of the range of relevant electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system.
