The Stanford Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) invite the Stanford research community to submit proposals for our AI and Neuroscience Partnership Grants.

The goal of this partnership is to support projects that have the potential to transform our understanding of the human brain using AI and advance the development of intelligent technology. Researchers with proposals that can make a persuasive case that initial results will catalyze further support from internal and external stakeholders are encouraged to apply.

The Synaptic Organization of Dendrites
This team aims to mine a microscale reconstruction of a millimeter-cube of brain tissue to uncover how dendrites decode patterns of incoming signals. The project will test hypotheses that could confer the energy efficiency of neural circuits on next generation computer chips.

Tracking Parkinson’s Disease with Transformer Models of Everyday Looking Behaviors
This project aims to track cognitive decline in Parkinson’s patients by measuring and modeling how patients explore the world with their eyes. The long-term goal of this project is to set a foundation for minimally-invasive and sensitive measures for diagnosing and tracking neurodegenerative diseases.
