各位老师：

您好！实验室吴思老师邀请了蓝脑计划、欧洲人脑计划的co-Director, Dr. Sean  Hill做报告，报告将对欧洲人脑计划做整体的介绍，欢迎感兴趣的老师和同学参加。

报告时间：11月6日上午10点

报告地点：脑成像中心308会议室（大会议室）

报告题目：The Human Brain  Project: An Overview

报告摘要：Understanding the human  brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Such an  understanding will lead to fundamentally new computing technologies, transform  the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases, and provide profound insights  into our humanity. The goal of the Human Brain Project (HBP) is to pull together  all our existing knowledge about the human brain and to reconstruct the brain,  piece by piece, in supercomputer-based models and simulations. The models offer  the prospect of a new understanding of the human brain and its diseases and of  completely new computing and robotic technologies. The HBP infrastructure will  consist of a tightly linked network of six ICT platforms, which will operate as  a resource both for core HBP research and for external projects, chosen by  competitive call. The HBP will drive innovation in ICT, creating new  technologies for interactive supercomputing, visualization and big data  analytics; federated analysis of globally distributed data; simulation of the  brain and other complex systems; objective classification of disease; scalable  and configurable neuromorphic computing systems, based on the brain’s principles of  computation and cognition and its architectures.

报告人简介：

Sean Hill is  co-Director of the Blue Brain Project and co-Director of Neuroinformatics in the  European Union funded Human Brain Project (HBP) at the École  Poly­tech­nique Fédérale de  Lau­sanne (EPFL). Dr. Hill also serves as the Scientific Director of the  International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) at the Karolinska  Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Hill has extensive experience in building  and simulating large-scale models of brain circuitry and has also supervised and  led research efforts exploring the principles underlying the structure and  dynamics of neocortical and thalamocortical microcircuitry. He currently serves  in management and advisory roles on several large-scale clinical informatics  initiatives around the world. After completing his Ph.D. in computational  neuroscience at the Université de Lausanne,  Switzerland, Dr. Hill held postdoctoral positions at The Neurosciences Institute  in La Jolla, California and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, then joined  the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center where he served as the Project Manager for  Computational Neuroscience in the Blue Brain Project until his appointment at  the EPFL.
