Meta Awards $130K Grant to Support Open Science at SCCN

I am excited to announce Meta’s generous gift to the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience. This unrestricted gift will enhance our efforts to promote open science and expand our comprehensive toolset, including EEGLAB, to encompass other modalities such as sEMG.

As co-PI on this grant, I am particularly grateful to Alexandre Gramfort for his unwavering advocacy for open science. This $130,000 award represents a significant investment in our mission to develop and maintain open-source tools for the neuroscience community.

The funding will support:

• Enhancement of EEGLAB’s multimodal capabilities
• Integration of sEMG (surface electromyography) analysis tools
• Continued development of open science infrastructure
• Training and educational resources for the global research community

This partnership with Meta underscores the importance of industry-academia collaboration in advancing scientific research and ensuring that powerful analytical tools remain freely accessible to researchers worldwide.
