Transforming Neurobehavioral Science - The NIH BRAIN Initiative's Brain-Behavior Quantification and Synchronization Program

Join this 27-minute webinar to explore the NIH BRAIN Initiative's Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) program and its revolutionary approach to understanding the neural basis of behavior. Learn about cutting-edge research efforts aimed at developing high-resolution tools and platforms to precisely quantify behaviors as multi-dimensional responses while synchronizing them with simultaneously recorded brain activity. Discover how researchers are building new conceptual and computational models of behavioral systems to establish causal brain-behavior relationships, and understand the establishment of a cross-disciplinary consortium focused on developing and disseminating innovative tools, ontologies, research designs, and ethical frameworks. Presented by Dr. Dana Schloesser, a health scientist administrator at the National Institutes of Health Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, this presentation draws from her extensive experience with the BRAIN Initiative, Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, and over two decades of engagement in behavioral neuroscience and radiation neurobiology research. Gain insights into how this program is transforming mechanistic brain-behavioral research and advancing our comprehensive understanding of neurobehavioral science through interdisciplinary collaboration and technological innovation.
