Tracking The Human Brain

小行星9705491 卡内基梅隆大学正在开发一个关于人脑的交互式多媒体天文馆演示。 跨学科的项目团队将建立和完善其最近完成的天文馆表演，进入活细胞之旅所获得的经验。 这项工作的背景是需要增加公众对人类大脑的了解--大脑是人类概念的核心器官。 对人类大脑的理解位于许多学科研究的活跃十字路口，包括精神病学，心理学，神经科学，计算机科学和生物学。 解决这一重要问题的拟议媒介是45分钟的天文馆表演。 将针对从青春期前到成人的广泛受众。 复杂和有趣的成像技术，包括动画和虚拟现实，将在整个工作中使用。 叙事和声音将紧密结合在作品中。 天文馆的半球形显示面将在视觉和声音上得到充分利用。 将介绍脑科学的最新进展以及对大脑的长期理解。 基本的脑生物学和脑功能的原则，包括脑区域活动和脑区域专业化的协同性将被介绍。

9705491 McCLELLAND Carnegie Mellon University is developing an interactive, multimedia planetarium presentation about the human brain. The interdisciplinary project team will build upon and refine the experience gained from its recently completed planetarium show, Journey Into the Living Cell. The context for this work is the need for increased public understanding of the human brain - an organ central to the very concept of humanity. The understanding of the human brain is located at the lively crossroads of research in many disciplines, including psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, computer science and biology. The proposed medium to address this important issue is a 45-minute planetarium show. A broad audience ranging from pre-adolescent to adult will be targeted. Sophisticated and entertaining imaging technologies, including animation and virtual reality, will be used throughout the work. Narration and sound will be tightly integrated into the work. The hemispherical display surface of the planetarium will be fully utilized both visually and sonically. Recent advances in the brain sciences as well as long held understandings about the brain will be presented. Basic brain biology and principles of brain function including cooperativity in brain region activity and brain region specialization will be introduced.
