The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) is a research initiative that is a collaboration of public and private research established by the Obama Administration in 2013. The purpose of the initiative is to aid in the application and creation of technology to better understand the function of the brain. Researchers under BRAIN strive to further explore the causes of brain disorders such as: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and traumatic brain injury.
