Multi-Center NIH BRAIN Inititative U19 Awarded to Anna Devor and colleagues
“Local neuronal drive and neuromodulatory control of activity in the pial neurovascular circuit” NIH U19-NS123717 A fundamental feature of cortical arterioles running on the pial brain surface is the fact that their diameter naturally oscillates at a frequency around 0.1 Hz – due to both the intrinsic properties of the vascular wall and propagation of dilation […]

Virtual fNIRS Training Workshop – November 8-18, 2021
The BU Neurophotonics Center is organizing a 2 week virtual Zoom course on functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) on November 8-18, 2021 from 10 am to 12 pm ET (Boston time) every day. The course will include lectures, hands-on sessions analyzing fNIRS data, and a strong emphasis on data analysis exercises using the Homer3 software. The […]
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 […]
