U.S.-Brazil Planning Visit: Development of a device for real time interaction with the brain. 0822533Diego Restrepo, University of Colorado at Denver, HSCThe proposed planning visit will establish a bilateral collaboration between U.S. and Brazilian scientists to develop novel engineering solutions for the study of brain function in awake behaving animals in real time. The hosts for the planning visit are Drs. Fátima de Medeiros, José da Graça, and Marcelo de Souza from Brazil's Universidade Federal do Ceara. Researchers at the University of Colorado at Denver's Health Sciences Center have applied computerized technologies, such as olfactometers, extracellular multiunit recording, and cerebral microstimulation to study the brain and olfactory behavior in awake mice. The proposed collaboration will expand upon previous work to study real time interaction with the brain where extraneous circuits evaluate neural output and affect neuronal firing in real time. The Brazilian collaborators will provide computer expertise to improve the speed and real time efficiency of the olfactometer.

美国--巴西计划访问：开发一种与大脑进行真实的时间交互的设备。 0822533迭戈·雷斯特雷波，科罗拉多大学丹佛分校，HSC拟议中的计划访问将建立美国和巴西科学家之间的双边合作，为研究真实的清醒行为动物的大脑功能开发新的工程解决方案。此次规划访问的东道主是来自巴西联邦大学塞阿拉的Fátima de Medeiros博士、José da Graça博士和Marcelo de Souza博士。 丹佛健康科学中心的科罗拉多大学的研究人员已经应用计算机技术，如嗅觉计，细胞外多单位记录和大脑微刺激来研究清醒小鼠的大脑和嗅觉行为。 拟议的合作将扩大以前的工作，研究真实的时间与大脑的相互作用，其中外部电路评估神经输出并影响真实的时间神经元放电。 巴西合作者将提供计算机专业知识，以提高嗅觉计的速度和真实的时间效率。
