👉 Unlock Research, also known as the Unlocking the Brain Initiative, is a large-scale, multi-disciplinary effort aimed at understanding and enhancing human cognitive abilities, particularly those related to learning and memory. Launched by the U.S. Department of Defense, it focuses on developing innovative methods to improve brain function, with a particular emphasis on creating tools and techniques to unlock the brain's full potential. This includes advancing neuroimaging technologies, exploring new pharmacological interventions, and investigating non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The research also delves into the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, aiming to translate these insights into practical applications that could benefit individuals with cognitive impairments or enhance performance in various fields.
