Brain Science as a Mutual Opportunity for the Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, and Engineering

脑科学与物理和数学科学、计算机科学和工程学之间存在着大量尚未开发的互惠互利的机会。神经系统的显著特征之一是，它在广泛的空间和时间尺度上表现出结构和功能上的重要组织模式：从分子到有机体和社会文化的空间尺度，以及从蛋白质折叠到个人和社会的生命周期的时间尺度。相应地，在这些不同的尺度上，有各种各样的方法和概念方法来研究大脑，所有这些都是与物理和数学科学、计算机科学和工程进行富有成效的交流的候选对象。将组织两个研讨会，以实现以下目标：(1)描述和探索脑科学和物理和数学科学、计算机科学和工程之间互惠互利的机会空间；(2)确定特别成熟的互惠机会的例子，考虑到每一组领域的最新水平；以及(3)制定战略，充分实现这些跨学科的研究机会及其更广泛的影响。

There are substantial unexploited opportunities for mutual scientific benefit between brain science and the physical and mathematical sciences, computer science, and engineering. One of the remarkable features of the nervous system is that it exhibits structurally and functionally significant patterns of organization over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales: spatial scales from molecules to the organismic and socio-cultural, and temporal scales from protein folding to the lifetimes of individuals and societies. Correspondingly, there is a wide range of methodological and conceptual approaches for investigating the brain at those different scales, all of which are candidates for productive interchange with the physical and mathematical sciences, computer science, and engineering.Two workshop will be organized toward the following goals: (1) to characterize and explore the space of opportunities for mutual benefit between brain science and the physical and mathematical sciences, computer science, and engineering; (2) to identify examples of opportunities that are particularly ripe for mutual benefit given the current state of the art in each set of fields; and (3) to develop strategies to fully realize these cross-disciplinary research opportunities and their broader impacts.
