State of the Brain

 描述(由申请人提供)：特伦斯·J·塞诺夫斯基和斯滕·格里纳组织的题为大脑状态的Keystone研讨会请求支持。会议将于2016年5月22日至26日在奥地利阿尔普巴赫举行。近年来，我们对大脑生物学的理解取得了快速进步，这在一定程度上是由研究神经网络的新技术的发展推动的。因此，欧盟和美国启动了重大的国家研究计划，这些计划将把神经科学家和工程师团队聚集在一起，目的是在了解大脑功能和功能障碍方面取得重大进展。挑战是绘制大脑的电路，测量大脑的波动模式 了解在这些回路中流动的电和化学活动是如何引起 认知和行为能力。这次Keystone研讨会将来自世界各地的研究人员聚集在一起，分享他们的发现，并在这个令人兴奋的大脑研究新时代规划未来的项目。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for a Keystone Symposia meeting entitled State of the Brain, organized by Terrence J. Sejnowski and Sten Grillner. The meeting will be held in Alpbach, Austria from May 22-26, 2016. Recent years have seen rapid advances in our understanding of brain biology, driven in part by the development of novel technologies for studying neural networks. Consequently, major national research programs in the EU and US have been launched that will bring together teams of neuroscientists and engineers with the aim of achieving a major advance in understanding brain function and dysfunction. The challenge is to map the circuits of the brain, measure the fluctuating patterns of electrical and chemical activity flowing within those circuits and understand how they give rise to cognitive and behavioral capabilities. This Keystone Symposia conference brings together investigators from around the world to share their discoveries and to plan future projects in this exciting new era for brain research.
