# Brown University DARPA NESD Team
**Aliases:** Brown NESD team
**Entity class:** Organization or institution
**Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]]
## Definition
**Brown University DARPA NESD Team** is an organization or institution. Brown University DARPA NESD Team developed [[wiki/Neurograins|Neurograins]]. Distributed untethered submillimeter cortical sensors. RF-powered. The entry centers on the organization's documented work, partners, users, and institutional lineage, so its own role remains distinct from the roles of adjacent programs and technologies.
