What does "Human-centered neural engineering and AI" mean?
It means prioritizing the patient across the entire pipeline: Discovery, Design, and Delivery of neuro-engineering treatments for psychiatric disorders.

How is prefrontal neural activity refined as we age?
Out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com! This study, from Elizabeth Johnson, uncovers how subtle changes in neural 'noise' impact our attention, memory, and cognition through development.
Proud to have contributed!
