MURI: Synthetic Telepathy

PEOPLE

This MURI-funded project is guided by the Army Research Office and is pursued by researchers at three academic institutions. These institutions include the University of California, Irvine, Carnegie Mellon University, and New York University. The expertise of the seven investigators ranges from non-invasive brain-imaging methods like EEG, MEG and MRI, to hearing and speech, linguistics, visual attention, and signal-processing technologies like feature detection, pattern classification and automatic speech recognition.
