The Project Grant award R21HD114233 for $193,953 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund research to develop and apply a novel ultrasonic brain imaging technology (functional ultrasound imaging, or FUSI) to study motor activity in behaving infants. The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the functional organization of the infant motor system using FUSI while infants perform reaching tasks, and 2) Develop tools to decode motor activity in the infant brain from FUSI data, with the eventual goal of enabling non-invasive brain-machine interface systems for motor rehabilitation in young populations. The research will be conducted by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, with a sub-award to Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare to support the project. This work aims to provide neuroscience with high-resolution neuroimaging capabilities for monitoring brain activity in awake, behaving infants, while laying the foundation for innovative ultrasound-based technologies to assist with motor rehabilitation.
