UC San Diego creates new Center for Brain Activity Mapping (CBAM) with Ralph Greenspan named as the founding director.
Responding to President Barack Obama’s “grand challenge” to chart the function of the human brain in unprecedented detail, the University of California, San Diego has established the Center for Brain Activity Mapping (CBAM).
