@BrainGateTeam researchers have found that observational activity is tied to how human-like the hand performing an action appears. Understanding how the brain "plans and executes" actions like these help inform the next gen of implantable BCIs, they say. https://t.co/jbtVlg82z6

"Brown’s multidisciplinary approach here is particularly important when you’re talking about biotech, which is an amalgamation of a variety of different engineering processes and other disciplines.” - Dov S. Zakheim of the Natl Security Comm on Emerging Biotechnology

[Brown University @BrownUniversity]

From RNA science and genomics to neuroscience and healthy aging, Brown researchers are advancing discoveries across biotechnology.

Members of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology recently convened in Providence to explore biotechnology research and innovation at Brown University and partner organizations across Rhode Island.
