Moonshot

Body, Brain, Behavior: Advancing Neurotechnology for Peak Performance, Health, and Wellbeing

The moonshot will bring together CMU and clinical institutions to ask how physical health, internal and external stressors, and the environment influence the performance of the brain and behavior. It will develop engineering solutions for understanding and optimizing human cognitive performance in the healthy brain, focusing on innovative, translational solutions for treating neural health conditions.
