Brain and Cognitive science explore the structure and function model, consciousness mechanism and intelligence essence of the brain, reveal the materiality, spirituality and close coupling mechanism of the brain, which is the ultimate challenge of human self-awareness and self transcendence.

Institute for Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Tsinghua University，THUIBCSFocusing on cross cutting frontier scientific issues, we gathered top talents at home and abroad to carry out multi-level, cross scale and systematic Research#Original research. Taking "brain engineering" as the starting point, construct a new multimodal and multi-scale brain observation and regulation technology system and architecture, leading the wave of technological innovation; Using "brain mechanism" as the focus, build a bridge connecting brain structure and function, study the loop mechanism of important brain functions at the micro, meso, and macro levels, and gather academic innovation consensus; Take "Cognitive science" as the breakthrough point, explore the intelligent characteristics of brain cognitive function, form a subversive computational Cognitive model, and build a theoretical innovation highland; "Cognitive computing" deeply studies the computing and Transfer learning mechanism of cognitive intelligence, and focuses on breaking the bottleneck of brain like computing paradigm and architecture; Brain Health focuses on conducting pathological research on neurological and psychiatric brain diseases, with a focus on tackling the challenges of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other diseases.

The research institute adheres to the core positioning of "international frontier intersection" and is led by 8 academicians from China, the United States, and Europe to form a team of chief scientists, gathering scientists and innovative resources from top international educational and research institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge University, Carnegie Mellon University, Imperial College of Technology, and the National Institutes of Health in the United States; Establish an international joint research center for brain and cognition, and establish centers for interdisciplinary research in brain science, brain intelligence, brain health, and advanced imaging; To recruit doctoral and postdoctoral students in brain science, Cognitive science, medicine, Information science and other fields globally.
