NIH BRAIN Initiative Multi-Council Working Group Meeting - February 2017 (Day 2)
The BRAIN Multi-Council Working Group ensures a coordinated and focused effort across NIH. The Multi-Council Working Group provides ongoing oversight of the long-term scientific vision of the BRAIN Initiative, as endorsed by the ACD, in the context of the evolving neuroscience landscape. Additionally, the working group regularly offers an assessment of the progress of current projects and programs supported by the BRAIN Initiative. The group will meet to provide insight on the progress of BRAIN.For more information go tohttps://braininitiative.nih.gov/about/mcwg.htmAir date: 2/15/2017 8:30:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

NIH BRAIN Initiative Multi-Council Working Group Meeting - August 2016
This is open session of the fifth meeting of the NIH BRAIN Multi-council Working Group. The Multi-Council Working Group provides ongoing oversight of the long-term scientific vision of the BRAIN initiative, as endorsed by the ACD, in the context of the evolving neuroscience landscape. It also serves as a forum for initial “concept clearance,” the review of ideas for new initiatives before they become funding announcements. In addition, the working group ensures that each of the BRAIN IC Advisory Councils is informed about BRAIN Initiatives, awards and progress – a critical point as the individual IC Advisory Councils...

iPS Cell Technology, Gene Editing and Disease Research
CCR Eminent Lecture
Rudolf Jaenisch, a Whitehead Institute Founding Member, focuses on understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression (the biological mechanisms that affect how genetic information is converted into cell structures but that don’t alter the genes in the process). Most recently, this work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and “induced pluripotent stem” (IPS) cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult cells without using an egg.
In 2007, the Jaenisch lab was one of three labs worldwide that reported successfully taking...

NIH Workshop on Standards and Modularity of Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neuroprostheses
On 21 November, 2014, Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) held an open public workshop with the aim of fostering an open discussion on the scientific and clinical considerations associated with the development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) devices for patients with paralysis and amputation. CDRH plans to use this information to develop regulatory considerations that will promote innovation while maintaining appropriate patient protections. The outcome of this meeting has been published recently in the Journal of Neural Engineering (http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1741-256...

Change Your Brain by Transforming Your Mind
Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Health Therapies
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
In this talk, Dr. Davidson will present an overview of studies conducted in his laboratory on neural changes associated with different forms of meditation. Distinctions among three major forms of meditation practice will be made: Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Positive Affect Training. These different forms of meditation have different neural and behavioral effects. From the perspective of Western neuroscience, different forms of meditation can be conceptualized a...
