Creating a non-invasive window into the mind

该项目旨在创造更好的工具来研究人类的思维。该项目预计将产生新的知识，可用于非侵入性成像神经元活动。预期成果包括开发独特的新型磁共振成像（MRI）仪器，以研究高度受控的实验室条件下和人类中的神经元活动，其空间和时间分辨率需要研究驱动低级和高级大脑功能的神经元回路，即，打开一扇心灵之窗在未来，这项研究的结果可以提高我们对精神障碍的理解，推进计算机大脑接口技术，并激发人工智能的下一个范式转变。

This project aims to create better tools to study the human mind. This project expects to generate new knowledge that can be used to non-invasively image neuronal activity. Expected outcomes include the development of unique new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) instruments to study neuronal activity in both highly controlled laboratory conditions and in humans, with the spatial and temporal resolution needed to study the neuronal circuitry that drives low and high-level brain functions, i.e., creating a window into the mind. In the future, outcomes from this study could improve our understanding of mental disorders, advance computer brain interface technology, and inspire the next paradigm shift in artificial intelligence.
