摘要：
Brain Informatics (BI) is a new interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field that focuses on studying the mechanisms underlying the human information processing system. It brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to explore the main research problems that lie in the interplay between the studies of human brain and the research of informatics, by using powerful equipment, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), positron emission tomography (PET), and eye-tracking as well as various wearable, ubiquitous, active, micro and nano devices. The systematic BI methodology has resulted in the brain big data, including various raw brain data, data-related information, extracted data features, found domain knowledge related to human intelligence, and so forth. In this talk, I demonstrate a systematic approach to an integrated understanding of macroscopic and microscopic level working principles of the brain by means of experimental, computational, and cognitive neuroscience studies, as well as utilizing advanced Web intelligence centric information technologies. I discuss research issues and challenges with respect to brain data computing from three aspects of Brain Informatics studies that deserve closer attention: systematic investigations for complex brain science problems, new information technologies for supporting systematic brain science studies, and Brain Informatics studies based on Web intelligence research needs. These three aspects offer different ways to study traditional cognitive science, neuroscience, mental health and artificial intelligence.
个人简介：
Ning Zhong received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo. He is currently head of Knowledge Information Systems Laboratory, and a professor in Department of Life Science and Informatics at Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan. He is also director and an adjunct professor in the International WIC Institute (WICI), Beijing University of Technology. Prof. Zhong's present research interests include Web Intelligence (WI), Brain Informatics (BI), Data Mining, Granular Computing, and Intelligent Information Systems. In 2000 and 2004, Zhong and colleagues introduced WI and BI as new research directions, respectively. Currently, he is focusing on "WI meets BI" research and brain data computing with three aspects: (1) systematic investigations for complex brain science problems; (2) new information technologies for supporting systematic brain science studies; and (3) BI studies based on WI research needs. The synergy between WI and BI advances our ways of analyzing and understanding of data, information, knowledge, wisdom, as well as their interrelationships, organizations, and creation processes, to achieve human-level Web intelligence reality. In 2010,Zhong and colleagues extended such a vision to develop Wisdom Web of Things (W2T) as a holistic framework for computing and intelligence in the big data era. Such interdisciplinary studies make up the field of brain informatics and its applications in brain big data computing, health studies, ICT for smart-city, brain-inspired intelligent systems among others.
