Title: Neuroscience and Neurotechnologies
Location: Army Research Lab – Aberdeen Proving Ground – Aberdeen, MD
Description: Computer science has often borrowed different things from neuroscience to use as a blueprint for artificial systems. For example, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are modeled after the mammalian visual system, and are used for tasks like image classification, feature recognition, and object identification. But there are many other systems the brain uses to interact with the world that can serve as foundations for new machine learning algorithms. This project will explore different brain systems and how these systems can be used to develop new, energy-efficient, adaptable algorithms. Potential research questions include: How can different neuroscience research be used as inspiration for new intelligent systems? What and how can technology benefit from different brain-inspired systems?
Requirements: Programming basics required. Additional consideration given to those with psychology, neuroscience, or computer science experience.
Level: Multiple Classifications
Required Major(s): Computer science, Neuroscience, Biology, Mathematics, and Engineering. Others considered if relevant.

eCYBERMISSION Grants
The eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grant is intended to support teachers/program leaders as they implement eCYBERMISSION with their teams. Educators (formal and informal) of students in grades 6-9 are encouraged to apply. Special consideration is given to Title 1 schools and to those with underserved/ under-represented populations.
