Higher brain functions

神经科学记录技术的最新发展，包括人脑活动的非侵入性记录、神经元活动的多通道记录、光学记录，以及分子神经科学技术的最新发展，包括基因敲除、产生mRNA的反义、受体和第二信使的拮抗剂或激动剂的药物设计技术，使得直接接近更高级的脑功能如感知成为可能，学习记忆和行为该项目旨在通过对神经科学中的四个主要概念的理论和实验验证，在高级大脑功能的研究中取得突破，1）协方差假设，2）稀疏表示，3）感知的正向和反向问题，4）运动控制的正向和反向问题。

Recent development of the neuroscience recording technology including noninvasive recording of the human brain activities, multi-channel recording of neuronal activities, optical recording as well as that of the molecular neuroscience technology including gene-knock out, and drug design technique producing antisense for mRNA,and antagonists or agonists for receptors and second messengers made a direct approach possible to higher brain functions such as perception, learning, memory and behaviors. This project intended to produce a breakthrough in the study of the higher brain functions by theoretical and experimental verification of four major concepts in the neuroscience, 1) Covariance hypothesis, 2) Sparse representation, 3) Forward and inverse problems in perception, 4) Forward and inverse problems in motor controls.
