(발표1) From NeuroImaging to Neuro-Robotics

The brain is arguably one of the most complex and densely packed, yet highly efficient information processing systems known. It is also the seat of sensory perception, motor coordination, memory, and creativity – in short, what makes us humans to humans. There are fascinating complementarities between human brains and artificial information processing systems created by humans: what appears to be challenging for us, seems easy for computers, while highly demanding problems for computers and robots such as face recognition and smooth locomotion are mastered without much difficulties by humans. In the present talk I will first review some of the recent neuro-imaging studies elucidating the functional and connectivity architecture of the mammalian brains. I will then try to convince you that time is ripe for communication engineers, circuit designers, and roboticists to join with brain scientists to start reverse engineering the whole brain, which in turn will lay ground for new generations of truly disruptive neuroengineering applications.

(발표2) Cell-to-Cell Communication Devices

Cells in our body must communicate in order to organize themselves into a complex society. Cells utilize highly evolved communication devices: both wired and wireless. Malfunction of the devices lead to various types of system failures, which are collectively called disease. Developing new technologies for monitoring cell-to-cell communication will be critical for the next-generation healthcare.
