“Of course, none of this will be easy,” he told an audience in the East Room of the White House. “If it was, we would already know everything there was about how the brain works, and presumably my life would be simpler here. It could explain all kinds of things that go on in Washington.”
The long-term goal of the BRAIN initiative is to help researchers find new ways to treat, cure and prevent brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and epilepsy, according to a White House release. The project would speed up development and application of new technologies for mapping the brain and showing how brain cells and neural circuits operate.
In addition to devoting new money to research, the administration would support a working group led by leading researchers.
Obama said he also would direct an administration commission on bioethics to “make sure all of the research is being done in a responsible way.”
