2014 Workshop on Noninvasive Brain Imaging

讲习班将确定为缩小未来潜力和目前NIBF技术最新水平之间的差距所需要进行的研究工作。具体而言，研讨会的主要成果将包括提高对与增材制造相关的研究、教育和技术转让的认识；根据NIBF技术实现研究和STEM教育转变的想法；政府、学术界、工业界和公众之间的合作机会；以及在应用NIBF技术的转型活动中的协同作用。该研讨会将有助于实现NIBF技术的全部潜力。提高对NIBF研究、教育和技术转让的认识将对国家BRAIN计划产生变革性影响，并将促进与理解脑功能和治疗脑疾病相关主题的发明和创新。这些都具有巨大的社会重要性。与会者提出的想法将有助于决策者在政府机构、学术机构和工业公司制定研究和教育的优先事项和战略。更好地了解这项技术有望增加NIBF的影响。此外，研讨会将促进新的转型技术、STEM教育方法和迄今尚未考虑的技术转移模式的发展。最后，研讨会的网络功能将允许在研讨会参与者和其他广泛跨越研究、教育和技术转让的个人之间建立新的合作关系。它将导致新的合作，这将推动NIBF技术的最先进和劳动力准备，从而提高美国在该领域的竞争力。

The workshop will result in identification of research efforts that will be needed to close the gaps between the future potential and the current state-of- the-art in NIBF technology. Specifically, major outcomes of the workshop will include the increased awareness of research, education, and technology transfer related to additive manufacturing; ideas enabling the transformation of research and STEM education in light of NIBF technology; partnership opportunities among government, academia, industry, and the general public; and synergism for transformational activities in the application of NIBF technology.The workshop will help realize the full potential of NIBF technology. Increased awareness of NIBF research, education, and technology transfer will have a transformative impact on the national BRAIN initiative, and will catalyze invention and innovation in topics related to understanding brain function and curing brain disorders. Each of these has enormous societal importance. The ideas coming from the workshop attendees will be helpful to decision makers in setting the priorities and strategies of research and education at government agencies, academic institutions, and industrial companies. A better understanding of this technology is expected to increase NIBF impacts. Also, the workshop will foster the development of novel transformational technologies, STEM education approaches, and technology transfer models not hitherto considered. Finally, the networking function of the workshop will allow establishing new collaborative relationships among the workshop participants and other individuals spanning widely across research, education, and technology transfer. It will lead to new collaborations that will advance the state- of-the-art and workforce preparation in NIBF technology, leading to the increase of US competitiveness in this field.
