Fang Awarded NIH Grant to Enable Ultra-Large-Scale Brain Mapping Capability
Assistant Professor Hui Fang, electrical and computer engineering, says that in order to truly understand the human brain, researchers need to be able to map much larger areas of the electrical activities in the brain than what’s currently possible. Given how complex the brain is, just examining a small region isn’t enough to truly grasp […]
