Computational Neuroscience, Brain-Inspired Intelligence and Brain Machine Interfaces
Brain Inspired Computing
Introduction: Brain inspired computing is a new computing technology with non von Neumann architectures that draws on the basic principles of information processing in the brain and is developed for general brain inspired intelligence. Brain inspired computing systems are the cornerstone of brain inspired general intelligence and have extremely broad application prospects. Its importance is as pointed out by the EU's flagship human brain program: "Whoever wants to dominate the world economy in the next 10 to 20 years must lead in this field.". Currently, the European Union, the United States, and other countries have invested heavily in long-term support for this research, which is also one of the research focuses of the China Brain Science Program. However, this research is still in its early stages and has not yet formed a common accepted technical solution. This symposium will comprehensively discuss the research background, latest progress, strategic goals, challenges, and possible technological paths for the development of brain inspired computing from the perspectives of brain inspired computing theory, chips, software, computers, brain inspired computing cloud, and applications, in order to promote the development of brain inspired computing.
Computational Neuroscience: Modeling Neural Dynamics and Cognitive Function
Introduction: The symposium "Computational Neuroscience: Modeling Neural Dynamics and Cognitive Function" delves into the realms of computational neuroscience to unravel the mysteries of neural dynamics and cognitive processes. Through advanced mathematical models, analyses and simulations, the symposium aims to showcase cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between neural mechanisms and cognitive functions. The talks in the symposium will focus on how computational frameworks can elucidate the complex interplay between synapses, neurons, and circuits, shedding light on fundamental cognitive processes such as learning, memory and decision making. Our diverse panel of experts will present their pioneering work in neural network modeling, biophysical simulations, and machine learning approaches, elucidating how these methodologies offer insights into brain function. By fostering interdisciplinary discussions, the symposium attempts to forge new paths in understanding the computational principles underlying brain dynamics and how they manifest in cognitive phenomena.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Biological Neuroscience
Introduction: The past decades have witnessed the impressive advances in neurotechnology, such as large-scale high-resolution microscopy and sensitive protein sensors. However, the sophisticated algorithms leveraging the data lags behind and are in great demand to push neuroscience further. The current situation has an understandable root. The progress in this interdisciplinary field requires a close collaboration between experimental neuroscience and computer science and the master of knowledge in both fields. Therefore, the goals of this symposium are, (1) to provide a platform for both experimental neuroscientists and computer scientists to communicate and interact with each other, (2) to call for the attention to this interdisciplinary field and the joining of young scientists, and (3) to showcase successful stories in applying and developing machine learning methods for neuroscience. Due to the limit of time and potential coverage of human neuroscience data analysis in other symposiums, we will focus on the data analysis and modeling on biological neuroscience problems. The topics will include but not be limited to microscopic brain activity quantification, multi-modality multi-model brain alignment, whole brain connectome with EM data, micro reconstruction of zebrafish brain, and video-based animal behavior quantification.
NeuroClinical Insights: Unraveling Neural Mysteries through Brain-Machine Interfaces in Clinical Neuroscience
Introduction: The symposium will delve into the cutting-edge realm of brain-machine interfaces (BMI), encompassing both invasive and non-invasive technologies facilitating direct communication between the brain and external devices. The focus on invasive BMI will highlight its unique capability to decode neural signals, offering insights into brain function and presenting solutions for neurological and psychiatric disorders. This session will feature presentations on invasive BMI advancements, showcasing high-resolution spatiotemporal data collection directly from neurons. Experts in invasive and non-invasive BMI, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence will deliver talks covering topics such as ultraflexible electrodes, integrated BMI design, memory mechanisms revealed through single-neuron recordings, and neural networks inspired by neuroscience discoveries. Attendees, including researchers and students from diverse fields like Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Engineering, are encouraged to participate in interdisciplinary discussions. The symposium aims to foster collaborations and present novel findings in computational neuroscience, contributing to the development of both invasive and non-invasive brain-inspired intelligence. By exploring these technologies, the session seeks to deepen our understanding of the brain and advance human awareness, addressing complex neurological challenges through innovative solutions.
Progress in AI-inspired Neural Decoding Across Species and Translation into Application
Introduction: Rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to the development of comprehensive and precise models of brain function across species, complex brain-computer interfaces, and accurate behavioral and pathological characterization at the individual level. However, these advances have predominantly remained confined to specific applications and fields. This calls for a timely reflection on the progress made in various disciplines of neural and brain-inspired sciences, and an exploration of interdisciplinary opportunities and challenges. In light of this, the international symposium will bring together experts from diverse backgrounds to showcase recent advancements in AI-inspired decoding. The symposium will foster meaningful debates on creating a synergistic framework to guide the future of AI-inspired decoding and its applications.
