Résumé pas encore disponible en français ; affiché en anglais.
The US National Institutes of Health funds exploratory research projects using invasive neural recording and brain stimulation technologies in human subjects to investigate how brain activity produces sensations, thoughts, and behaviors. Grants up to 700,000 US dollars support early-stage feasibility studies from US-based academic institutions, nonprofits, and other organisations, with applications in English due by 11 February 2027.

Résumé
Texte original du bailleur (anglais)
Invasive surgical procedures in humans offer the unique opportunity to intracranially record and stimulate neuronal activity within precisely localized brain structures, enabling high-impact human neuroscience investigations. This NOFO seeks exploratory research projects, from newly formed or established multi-disciplinary teams, to understand how dynamic activity of single cells and ensembles of neurons in spatially organized networks gives rise to the internal states we experience as sensations, perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and memories, and to observable motor and social behaviors. The research should be proposed as exploratory research and planning activities to establish feasibility and early-stage development that, if successful, would support, enable, and/or lay the groundwork for a potential, subsequent research project grant applications using invasive neural recording and stimulation technologies in the human brain. Projects should maximize opportunities to conduct innovative in vivo human neuroscience research made available by direct access to the brain from invasive surgical procedures. Projects should employ approaches guided by specified theoretical constructs…
