The tablet allows researchers to study brain function as children interact with the tablet while inside the MRI machine. James leads one of four IU Bloomington projects to receive funding from the Johnson Center for Innovation and Translational Research.

The Johnson Center for Innovation and Translational Research has awarded a total of nearly $100,000 through its Translational Research Pilot Grant program to four projects led by researchers at Indiana University Bloomington.

Launched in 2015, the program supports the development of translational research projects with industry partners and the establishment of new companies, as well as strengthens patent applications based on IU Bloomington discoveries.

Submitted projects were based on discoveries disclosed to the Indiana University Research and Technology Corp. Individual project budgets up to $25,000 were considered.

Information about the four projects, led by researchers at the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Public Health, is available online.
