Program Background
项目背景
当今现有的治疗神经精神疾病的方法疗效十分有限，在这种大环境下神经科学却异军突起，成为现在一个高速发展的新兴领域，并致力于重新编程神经回路的脑机接口，开辟新的医学治疗途径。本项目中，教授将介绍神经科学的生物学、感知运动机制及行为控制等基础知识，并逐步深入到脑机接口的工作原理以及应用前景。埃隆·马斯克(ElonMusk)资助的Neuralink等新公司正专注于开发这些技术，学生将有优势了解这个全新的、令人兴奋的领域的要点。
At present, the existing methods for treating neuropsychiatric diseases have very limited efficacy. In this general environment, neuroscience has emerged as a new field with rapid development, and is committed to reprogramming the brain computer interface of the neural circuit to open up new medical treatment approaches. In this project, the professor will introduce the basic knowledge of neuroscience such as biology, perceptual motor mechanism and behavior control, and gradually go deep into the working principle and application prospect of brain computer interface. New companies such as Neuralink funded by Elon Musk are focusing on developing these technologies, and students will have the advantage to understand the key points of this new and exciting field.
Program Description
项目介绍
教授将带大家理解大脑的解剖结构并学习神经元连接的结构变化如何赋予大脑最重要的属性：学习和记忆的能力，其次将重点关注视觉系统，并且关注运动命令是如何产生的。除此之外，还将学习脑机接口，并研究它们如何被用于神经系统受损的患者。最后大家将研究神经元是如何控制我们的行为的，探讨生物学习和驱动人工智能的学习之间的关系，研究神经技术如何利用这些学习过程。本项目将为学生提供一个坚实的神经科学与技术领域相关知识，学生将学习到这个迅速发展的领域的一些最新进展。
The professor will lead you to understand the anatomical structure of the brain and learn how the structural changes of neuronal connections endow the brain with the most important attribute: the ability to learn and remember. Next, he will focus on the visual system and how the movement commands are generated. In addition, learn about brain computer interfaces and study how they can be used in patients with nervous system damage. Finally, we will study how neurons control our behavior, explore the relationship between biological learning and learning that drives artificial intelligence, and study how neural technology uses these learning processes. This project will provide students with a solid knowledge of neuroscience and technology, and students will learn some of the latest developments in this rapidly developing field.
