This $764,646 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support a 3-year research project titled "Advancing Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation: A Comprehensive Study of Temporal Interference Mechanisms (CNS-STIM)". The project aims to bridge gaps in understanding how the innovative non-invasive brain stimulation technique...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Award, with CFDA Number 47.070, provides $175,000 to the University of Memphis to develop a hybrid EEG-fNIRS neuroimaging headband for neurofeedback. The project aims to create a user-friendly, electronic textile-based headband that can simultaneously monitor critical neural biomarkers, combining the temporal precision of EEG with the spatial accuracy of fNIRS. The headband will also...

This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will fund research at The Pennsylvania State University to develop a fully wireless, flexible electrical-acoustic implant for high-resolution neural stimulation and recording across large-scale brain circuits. The implant is intended to provide minimally invasive ultrasound neuromodulation and...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $830,409 to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to develop novel software and computational techniques that integrate real-time navigated electric-field mapping and source-space electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatments. The goal is to improve the accuracy of targeting and dosimetry for individualized patients to enhance...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $1,167,871 to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston, Massachusetts to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS) to improve cognitive and motor function in older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study aims to determine if long-term tDCS can induce sustained improvements in...

Northeastern University was awarded a two-year, $417,913 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to acquire a controllable pulse transcranial magnetic stimulator with robotic positioning and integrated EEG/EMG capabilities for engineering and neuroscience research and education. The stimulator and positioning equipment will allow researchers to noninvasively map brain functions with precision and study neural plasticity. This infrastructure...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with CFDA number 47.070, provides $220,148 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to develop novel "earable systems" that can unobtrusively sense and stimulate physiological signals like brain activity, facial muscle movements, and eye movements. The goal is to create minimally visible wearable devices that can continuously monitor and interact with the human...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $205,000 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on how noninvasive brain stimulation affects memory-related neural activity in the hippocampus. The key objectives of this 2-year study are to: 1) investigate the selectivity of a stimulation approach called Hippocampal Indirectly Targeted Stimulation (HITS) on intracranial EEG activity in...
