The Brain Co-Processors project is a moonshot initiative under the Pratiksha Trust–IISc Brain, Computation and Data Science (BCD) Initiative — a bold, long-term investment in the future of brain science and neural engineering in India. The Pratiksha Trust’s support enables us to pursue a 10-year, multi-crore research agenda that would not be possible through conventional funding channels alone.
