美国国家科学基金会参与脑计划研究动态

摘要

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在美国近期发布的脑计划中扮演重要角色，其参与脑计划的方式主要是利用既有的研究基础把相关研究方向打包。从其预算中可看出，NSF在脑计划下将聚焦于对神经网络、信息科学、认知和行为科学领域的研究。脑计划本身不是超大型研究项目，也不是全新的研究方向，但却是美国对大脑研究日渐重视的信号。通过对NSF参与脑计划研究情况进行简要介绍，以期引起我国对相关研究领域的关注和追踪。%the National Science Foundation (NSF) plays an important role in the BRAIN Initiative recently launched by US government. the main access for NSF to the initiative is taking advantage of its current research achievements and plans and packaging them as a part of the initiative. In terms of budget, NSF, under the initiative, will focus on neural networks, information science, recognition and behavior science. BRAIN Initiative itself is neither a super science project, nor a brand-new direction, but a signal of ever increasing concern US puts on brain research.
