title: Designing tools for assumption-proof brain mapping.
abstract: Can we develop technologies to systematically map classical mechanisms throughout the brain, while retaining the flexibility to investigate new mechanisms as they are discovered? We discuss principles of scalable, flexible technologies that could yield comprehensive maps of brain function.
