The Johns Hopkins University received a $1,490,248 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372). The award supports a 3-year research project titled "Cortical Circuit Dynamics Underlying Multisensory Decision Making." The project aims to investigate how the brain integrates visual, vestibular, and kinesthetic signals to make decisions about self-motion and guide locomotion, by recording ensemble neural activity across key sensory and decision-making brain regions in non-human primates. The research is expected to yield insights into the neural representation and readout of sensory evidence and decision uncertainty. The award commenced on August 1, 2023 and is scheduled for completion on July 31, 2026.
