CBET-0844304Bin HeThis project will support the workshop called "EMBS Forum on Grand Challenges in Biomedical Engineering - Engineering the Future of Brain Science" The Forum workshop will review progress made, and determine challenges facing the scientific community in understanding the brain at a systems level in the next decade. The Forum will address the following questions: How neural activities at the cellular or sub-cellular levels contribute to the system-level brain functions; How can we image the brain with high spatial and temporal resolution by developing new imaging modalities or new informatics methods to accomplish similar goals via integrating multimodal imaging data; How can we understand the network behavior of neuronal networks consisting of millions of neurons; and how can we interface the brain with environment and restore impaired brain functions.The workshop will have the following specific topics: Neural Informatics, Neural Circuits, Neural Connectomics, Neural Imaging, Neural Interfacing, Neural Prosthesis, Neural Computation, and Neural Sensing.The Forum Workshop will bring together leading scholars, government officials and representatives from industry to discuss and identify critical issues and challenges facing the biomedical engineering community and larger society. The results of the Forum will provide further guidance to the scientific community, government and industry with regard to how should we engineer the future of brain science. The Forum workshop will include identification of important challenges for the larger society, broad dissemination of the forum outcome via EMBS network and media coverage, publication of special issue in international scholarly journal, and strong international participation.

CBET-0844304 Bin HeThis project will support the workshop called“EMBS Forum on Grand Challenges in Biomedical Engineering - Engineering the Future of Brain Science”论坛研讨会将回顾所取得的进展，并确定科学界在未来十年在系统层面理解大脑方面面临的挑战。该论坛将解决以下问题：细胞或亚细胞水平的神经活动如何有助于系统水平的大脑功能;我们如何通过开发新的成像模式或新的信息学方法来实现高空间和时间分辨率的大脑成像，通过整合多模态成像数据来实现类似的目标;我们如何理解由数百万神经元组成的神经元网络的网络行为;以及我们如何将大脑与环境连接，并恢复受损的大脑功能。工作坊的具体主题如下：神经信息学，神经回路，神经连接组学，神经成像，神经接口，神经假体，神经计算和神经传感。论坛研讨会将汇集领先的学者，政府官员和行业代表讨论和确定生物医学工程界和更大社会面临的关键问题和挑战。论坛的结果将为科学界、政府和工业界提供进一步的指导，指导我们如何设计脑科学的未来。论坛研讨会将包括确定更大社会的重要挑战，通过EMBS网络和媒体报道广泛传播论坛成果，在国际学术期刊上出版特刊，以及强有力的国际参与。
