In the two years since President Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative, much progress has begun. The application to which these integrative technologies to specific question-based projects will grow over the later years of the Initiative. Continued development of technology will be applied in the middle stages of the BRAIN Initiative as combinations of technology begin to emerge (Bargmann BRAIN 2025). An example of this combination of technology is when scientists combing advance genetic and optical techniques, it allows them to use pulses of light to determine how specific cell activities in the brain affect behavior (The BRAIN). Animal research technologies that are BRAIN-supported will inspire next-generation devices for human brain monitoring and therapies using optical, acoustic and magnetic modalities (Bargmann BRAIN 2025). The progress BRAIN is making may take awhile to amount to anything huge, but what newly built program doesn’t?
A few of DARPA’S programs, to help improve the lives of military-men and civilians, with the BRAIN Initiative are RAM, HAPTIX, SUBNETS, and Neuro-FAST. The Restoring Active Memory, or RAM, program will be conducting its first human clinical trials to see how memories are encoded in the brain during learning and skill acquisition, with …show more content…
Agencies and scientists are coming from all around the country to develop an innovative program that will help the lives of an uncountable amount of people, who are in dire need of the technological advances this program will bring forth. The BRAIN Initiative is already on a path to success with their multitude of programs that cover much of neuroscience and the questions we have about the brain. The innovative, unthinkable complex technology that is already being developed with the BRAIN Initiative will create a better world, and a better
