On May 8th, at the invitation of Dean Bin Hu, Academician Aike Guo brought a report entitled “How the Brain Works on the Whole” to the laboratory teachers and students in the 406 lecture hall of Feiyun Building. All the teachers and students of the laboratory attended the report meeting. The report will be hosted by Bin Hu.

       Academician Guo Aike combined his own practical experience and research results to link theory with practice and to explain the relationship between brain and thinking in human beings. It outlines several major milestones in the history of science. From the perspective of evolution and selection, this paper introduces the latest research progress in the aspects of perception, learning, memory, choice, cognition, and neural computing in recent years, and points out the future development direction of brain science and brain-like intelligence. And the teachers and students had a heated discussion and interaction, and the participants were very productive.

       After the meeting, Academician Guo Aike visited the Gansu Provincial Key Laboratory of Wearable Equipment, listened to the introduction of relevant research topics, observed the experimental demonstration, and conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with the laboratory teachers and students.
