This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $420,519 to Indiana University to explore temporal interference (TI) electrical neurostimulation as a non-invasive method for deep brain stimulation. The project aims to characterize the effects of TI on brain activity and functional connectivity, and apply TI to stimulate the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex to investigate its causal...
The federal Project Grant award R21NS137987, in the amount of $427,625.00, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports research at the University of Iowa to investigate whether the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)-evoked potential (TEP) in EEG recordings can serve as a non-invasive measure of cortical excitability during...
This Project Grant award of $527,037 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The award supports research at New York University (NYU) to investigate how the basal ganglia and motor thalamus in the human brain integrate cognitive and motor processes, with the goal of developing brain stimulation strategies to treat movement and...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), provides $1,193,500 to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute to investigate the mechanisms by which transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) techniques, including transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), modulate cerebral microcirculation and endothelial function. The research aims to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is supporting research to identify the key factors that determine individual response to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The $498,429 award to the Children's Research Institute will apply advanced machine learning algorithms to a multi-modal dataset that includes structural MRI, functional MRI, cognitive performance, and other measures...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), through its Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), awarded a $578,701 project grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) on June 16, 2025. The goal of this 5-year project is to develop a near-infrared confocal squeezed light-field microscopy (SLIM) system capable of kilohertz volumetric imaging of neuronal action potentials in 3D. This technology is intended to...
This Project Grant award of $784,096.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to develop optimized methods for measuring brain excitability in depression. The key objectives are to: Investigate how adjusting transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) parameters affects neural activity measured with intracranial EEG. Optimize the TARGE"T" system to enhance short-latency TMS-evoked potentials...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is focused on studying the use of theta burst stimulation (TBS) to modulate hippocampal-cortical rhythms in patients with schizophrenia. The $160,272 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2027, will support a combination of invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation experiments to investigate how TBS can influence hippocampal oscillations and...
The federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, aims to conduct a Phase 2A clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-definition cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (HD C-TDCS) as a neuroprotective and collateral-enhancing treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The $800,331 award, with a...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a 3-year, $3,582,963 Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The grant supports the development and validation of novel wearable transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) neuromodulation transducer array probes compatible with simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in behaving...
