legislation would be used to fund
brain imagery technology and re
search the connections between
brains and genetics, adding that the
Brain, Biology and Machine Initiative
has already made progress in study
ing functions of the brain such as at
tention, memory and language.
Funding from previous years has
been used to study the nervous sys
tems of animals such as zebrafish and
cuttlefish. In addition, the lab has re
searched the effects of genetics, expe
riences and the environment on the
mental development of children.
"We're trying to create a bridge
between genetics and the brain,"
Neville said.
On Time Systems is also looking
to benefit from the proposed
spending bill.
On Time Systems CEO Matt Gins
berg said he would be "pleasantly
surprised" if his company received
the requested $4 million, but seemed
confident that it would pan out.
"1 would be very surprised if we
didn't," Ginsberg said.
Ginsberg said the company focuses
on making manufacturing more effi
cient in both military and civilian op
erations. The company is developing
software to make ship building more
cost-effective for the U.S. Navy.
Ginsberg noted that a company
such as General Motors Corp. wants
to be extremely productive, making
as many cars as possible. The Navy,
on the other hand, wants to make a
set number of ships and save money
rather than having a surplus of equip
ment, Ginsberg explained.
"1 know that saving the Navy mon
ey won't directly help social pro
grams," Ginsberg said. "But at some
level, making the government more
efficient will benefit many people."
