Kitware Software Helps Researchers Understand the Human Brain

CLIFTON PARK — Kitware has won a $1.3 million grant from the National Institute of Health’s BRAIN Initiative. The BRAIN Initiative aims to increase the understanding of the human brain through advanced imaging to better treat, cure, and prevent brain disorders. With the funds from the grant, Kitware is developing a tool that uses AI to help researchers analyze images of neuron connectivity over time. 

Their next project will be with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Invisible Headlights Program, collaborating with Spectrum Photonics and the University of Hawaii to develop passive 3D sensors for stealthy, nighttime autonomous vehicles.
