China Brain Project: Basic Neuroscience, Brain Diseases, and Brain-Inspired Computing

The China Brain Project covers both basic research on neural mechanisms underlying cognition and translational research for the diagnosis and intervention of brain diseases as well as for brain-inspired intelligence technology. We discuss some emerging themes, with emphasis on unique aspects.
