Scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force for promoting high-quality development. The basic research is the source of innovation. In Suzhou, there is a research team who, ten years in a row, explores the unknown as their responsibility, concentrates on brain science research and eventually masters the world's most advanced brain mapping technology. In today's program, we will lead you to the research team in the field of basic research.
Central China University of Science and Technology Suzhou Institute of Brain Space Information is stepping up the research on the so-called "brain atlas", which means "taking pictures" of the brain's internal structure, the extremely subtle neural network.
Brain science is a basic research. Brain map data can be used in many fields such as medicine and artificial intelligence, which is of great significance to the benefit of mankind. However, in traditional research, people can only slice and cut the intact brain by means of manual operation to analyze and image, which is not only laborious but also error-prone.
In order to change this situation, Luo Qingming, who returned from the United States, took 10 years to lead the team in the invention of "microscopic optical tomography."
Large-scale, industrialized research means huge funding support. The Industrial Technology Research Institute of Jiangsu Province and Suzhou Industrial Park hit it off, solving the problems for Luo Qingming
With funding and venue support, the team's Quest Brain Project has taken another big step forward. They plan to install 50 sets of equipment at the Suzhou Institute for large-scale research and create a "brain imaging factory."
Today, Suzhou brain space team holds the world's best "brain imaging technology" with cooperation invitation extended by the EU's "brain project", the United States "Brain Project".
In Luo Qingming's view, it is now the best time for basic research to gather momentum. It is with the continuous support of state and local governments in basic research that their research will lead the world. In the future, the team hopes to be able to attract the world's resources to gather in Jiangsu by focusing on the Suzhou Institute, and continuing its efforts in the development of brain diseases and brain-like artificial intelligence.
