Embracing the Digital Future of Brain Health

Mon, June 7, 2021, 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM AEST

(14:30-17:00 Fudan, 16:30-19:00 Sydney, 7:30-10:00 Cambridge)

The advancement of digital technology has presented new approaches to conduct neuroscience research and provided new clinical solutions to improve brain health. Bringing together researchers from the University of Sydney, Fudan University and the University of Cambridge, this virtual workshop consists of presentations and conversations on how digital technology transforms the way to address brain health challenges. It also invites industry representatives to give talks on recent innovations and emerging trends of digital technology that may impact brain health. The workshop will strengthen research links and momentum of the Sydney - Fudan Brain and Intelligence Science Alliance and promote cross-institutional multi-disciplinary research collaborations.

The workshop is organized by the Sydney - Fudan Brain and Intelligence Science Alliance (BISA), a strategic partnership established in 2019 to raise research impact through translational research in fields related to data science, neuroscience and intelligence. Its goal is to train research leaders, advance technological innovation and scientific research and secure practical applications for science and technology research. The four main research areas of BISA are:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Disorders;
  • Computational Neuroscience and Neural Engineering;
  • Impact of Al on Ethics, Arts and Society; and
  • Artificial Intelligence and Brain-Inspired Intelligence.
