Brainstorming Advances in neuroModulation and Sensing (BAMS)

About this event According to Brain Initiative 2.0, the next generation of recording/modulation technology development should improve cell-type and neurochemical specificity. Current technologies are limited in specificity, temporal dynamics, and by the invasiveness of the technique. We hope you will join this brainstorming session as we bring together expertise on the BU campus to form […]
