Description
As part of The BRAIN Initiative(SM), NIH intends to initiate a program of collaborative partnerships between clinical/academic researchers and corporate manufacturers of devices for human brain modulation and recording, to address the compelling need for a streamlined path for developing and integrating innovative new technologies for human brain research. The purpose of this workshop is to:
• Bring together stakeholders and interested parties to disseminate information on opportunities for research using latest-generation devices for CNS neuromodulation and interfacing with the brain in humans.
• Describe the proposed NIH framework for facilitating and lowering the cost of new studies using these devices.
• Discuss regulatory and intellectual property considerations.
• Solicit recommendations for data coordination and access.
