The IIT@Harvard outstation is a formal collaborative arrangement between IIT and Harvard University, focusing on technology development for experimental neuroscience, advanced neural computation, and translational neuroscience. IIT@Harvard organizes bi-directional movement of scientists between the two institutions, including IIT scientists working at Harvard for long-or short-term collaborations, as well as Harvard scientists working at IIT facilities. The outstation is nominally coordinated by John Assad, to facilitate flexible collaborations between independent principal investigators at both institutions.
