Inauguration of Fudan University's Brain-Computer Interface Research Center and Its Future Directions
TapTechNews August 5th news, on the afternoon of August 3rd, the Neural Regulation and Brain-Computer Interface Research Center of Fudan University (hereinafter referred to as the Brain-Computer Center) was officially inaugurated.
As a revolutionary human-computer interaction method, brain-computer interface technology bypasses the traditional peripheral nerves and muscles and directly builds a brand-new communication and control channel between the human brain and the outside world, providing the possibility for the treatment of brain diseases and the effective restoration of the motor function and communication ability lost due to diseases or trauma. In recent years, it has been widely used in the fields of medicine, rehabilitation, nursing, etc.
The brain-computer interface technology has also been included in the key research areas of the national 14th Five-Year Plan and the focused areas of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the future, becoming a national-level major scientific research strategic task.
The academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Professor Wang Yizheng, serves as the chief scientist of the center, and ten experts including the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Pu Muming, Liu Ming, and Zhao Jizong, form the Scientific and Technical Expert Steering Committee.
TapTechNews noticed that in the future, the Brain-Computer Center will be committed to serving the national major cross-integration strategic needs in the field of neural regulation and brain-computer interface, and creating an innovative engine of new productive forces for the exploration of principles of neural regulation and brain-computer interface, disruptive technological breakthroughs, and healthcare applications.
The Brain-Computer Center has established three major research directions: neural regulation mechanism and theoretical research, brain-computer interactive neural regulation technology research and development, and neural regulation clinical transformation research, fully integrating the three links of basic research, technological breakthroughs, and transformation and application.
