Neuroscience

Boston Globe reporter Carolyn Johnson writes about how MIT researchers have mapped a neural circuit in the eye that helps detect movement. The researchers developed the map through EyeWire, a citizen science game developed at MIT that has users trace the path of neurons in the brain.

Klint Finley, a reporter for Wired, reports on Open Ephys, a project for sharing open-source neuroscience hardware designs founded by MIT and Brown University researchers.
