Broader Impacts
The BRAIN Center leverages engineering, neuroscience, and innovation ecosystems, and is structured specifically to advance training of students and mentoring of postdoctoral and graduate fellows.
Education
Training students and mentoring postdoctoral fellows
Opportunity
Expanding access for students and faculty nationwide
Innovation
Attracting start-ups and bridging with entrepreneurial ecosystems
All of our sites are committed to excellence in research and education. The Center fosters relationships with programs across institutions, expanding access and opportunity for students and faculty in our research.
The Center enhances institutional infrastructures and improves our capabilities for research that will have a substantive impact on education, training, technological development, and deployment of innovative neurotechnologies.
Moreover, the BRAIN Center contributes to the local, regional, and national economies, serving as an attractor for innovation start-ups and bridging with local and state entrepreneurial and accelerator sites.
Regulatory Science
The Center works closely with regulatory agencies, including the FDA, to help develop basic regulatory science in support of translating emergent neurotechnologies to end users.
