Neuroscience is the study of the brain and the nervous system. Human neuroscience is the specific study of how the brain controls our thoughts and behaviors. Human neuroscience research leverages artificial intelligence (AI) by seeking to improve our ability to analyze neural data and understand how neural data align with human behaviors in basic science and clinical populations. AI plays a transformative role in human brain imaging by enhancing the accuracy, speed, and depth of data analysis and is a critical part of the proposed REU program. REU students will learn about these techniques. The intersection of biotechnology and human brain imaging is driving significant advancements in understanding brain function. Biotechnology enables the development of novel imaging methods, genetic tools, and biological sensors that, when combined with advanced imaging techniques, provide deeper insights into brain structure and activity. This synergy allows researchers to understand developmental aspects of brain function, monitor therapeutic responses, and understand the biochemical underpinnings of brain disorders paving the way for clearer approaches to understand the human brain. This REU program engages laboratories that use advanced biotechnological approaches to enhance our understanding of brain activity patterns in health and disease. A principal goal of this undergraduate research program in human neuroscience is to enhance the intellectual understanding of human neuroscienc
