Science & Innovation
Conducting neuroscience research is an integral part of what we do. Bringing hope to many through life-changing answers and better quality of life is what we live for. Our mission is to transform brain and behavioral health care through groundbreaking technologies, disruptive innovation, and globally-recognized culturally responsive science and treatments.
Research Priorities
We have three main research priorities we focus the majority of our efforts on.
First is Neuropsychological Outcomes. This includes research focused around ADHD,Sports Concussion/Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Epilepsy, and Brain Mapping.
Next is Technology Innovation. We primarily focus our efforts on the Brain Next project, and launched the Brain Tech Project in 2020.
Our last focus is Healthcare Disparities which we dedicated to the PEDI Consortium and the uNIDOS Project.
