I’m sure you have to write an NIH grant and be part of an organization (e.g. professor in higher education) to participate.

Being a lab test rat of NIMH would be interesting if I had access to all my data and protocols. But alas I am in the field of public education. Maybe later then lol

I’m a professor who would also be interested in volunteering on both ends, but the loopholes are probably prohibitive to me as a researcher in social sciences and humanities (even though it goes hand in hand with every field).

I would volunteer for this but let us see. This is amazing news. Once we fully understand the human brain some things in Science Fiction will become a reality which is awesome!:) Imagine being able to reverse or stop aging, and even be like Jimmy Neutron would be cool too. Being able to become much more happier would be cool too as well. Diseases' and Neurological disorders can be solved and I think this can happen in the next few to five years if we are lucky and this project by the NIH BRAIN initiative can really do wonders for every single human being in this world. You never know what can be done because when we get Artificial Intelligence in the next five years we will need to be smarter than them and the majority of people have to be smarter than them so we can better be able to understand them and control them. Thank you OP for sharing!:)
