Neurotechnology - MIT McGovern Institute
Our researchers develop cutting-edge research tools for neuroscience. Optogenetics, for example, allows researchers to manipulate the activity of individual neurons, shedding light on brain function and potential avenues for treatment. We use a broad range of approaches – from protein engineering and chemistry to materials science and robotics – to develop new sensors and modes […]
