The world’s leading experts on the workings of the brain.
Pooling their expertise in cognitive science, biology, data science, computational modeling, sensors, bioinstrumentation, and other fields, BU researchers are developing and advancing technology such as laser imaging, multiphoton microscopy, and functional near infrared spectroscopy. Their work might result in applications such as better brain mapping, brain stimulation to deal with chronic pain, and early detection of biomarkers for Alzheimer’s. As they gain more knowledge about how the brain works, they learn more about what makes us human.
