More information about
ICNDE's missionWhat are Brain Clouds?Ants
live in colonies. People gather in crowds. Water forms vortices. Each
is an example of a collective excitation, where large numbers of
individuals cooperate to form an organized structure that exhibits new
properties not observed in the individuals that comprise it. Similarly,
neurons interact to form patterned electrical activity in the brain,
which we call
Brain Clouds.
Why contribute to ICNDE?Unlike
most nonprofits, ICNDE has no payroll. 100% of public donations are
allocated towards research, unless requested otherwise. Any remaining
operating costs are paid for by grants, partnering academic
institutions, or by the founder.
