## Definition
**Brown University** is represented in the supplied neurotechnology ecosystem graph through the source-qualified relationships below. This page preserves the graph's direction, predicate, evidence key, and epistemic status without treating technical similarity as ownership, funding, licensing, or organizational identity.

#### Outgoing typed edges
- **Edge 151 — `NESD_principal_investigator` → [[wiki/Arto Nurmikko|Arto Nurmikko]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_NESD_AWARDS`. up to 100,000 untethered submillimeter neurograin sensors + RF hub.
#### Incoming typed edges
- **Edge 150 — [[wiki/DARPA NESD|DARPA NESD]] `performer` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_NESD_AWARDS`. up to 100,000 untethered submillimeter neurograin sensors + RF hub.
- **Edge 273 — [[wiki/Utah Array|Utah Array]] `used_at` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `BLACKROCK_STORY`. 2002 cursor-control monkey study in company historical timeline.
#### Epistemic boundary
`VERIFIED`, `VERIFIED_SECONDARY`, `CORPUS`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_LINEAGE`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_CONVERGENCE`, `ANALYTIC`, and `UNRESOLVED` are retained as distinct relation states. An edge does not imply ownership, control, funding, licensing, technology transfer, or organizational identity unless its predicate and evidence state that relationship explicitly.

#### Outgoing typed edges
- **Edge 151 — `NESD_principal_investigator` → [[wiki/Arto Nurmikko|Arto Nurmikko]]** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_NESD_AWARDS`. up to 100,000 untethered submillimeter neurograin sensors + RF hub.
#### Incoming typed edges
- **Edge 150 — [[wiki/DARPA NESD|DARPA NESD]] `performer` → this entry** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_NESD_AWARDS`. up to 100,000 untethered submillimeter neurograin sensors + RF hub.

#### Epistemic boundary
Primary-source, peer-reviewed, company-claim, preprint, analytic, inherited-corpus, dynamic-metric, source-version-conflict, and unresolved states remain distinct. A current primary source supersedes a stale uncertainty label without erasing the correction history. No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, program lineage, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so.
