A workshop, entitled "A Joint US-European Workshop on Informatics for Bio-Inspired Design: Reverse Engineering of the Human Brain" and to be held in May 2010 in Croatia, will be jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the European Science Foundation (ESF), and the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The main focus of this workshop is on the reverse engineering of human brain. There is a great interest in understanding how the human brain manipulates data and develops a solution. During the past decade, scientists and engineers have conducted extensive research in developing a better understanding of human brain functions such as: how the sensed physical world is transformed into representations useful to recognize and to act; how sensorial, cognitive and motor data is stored and retrieved; and how this information is used to make decisions and interact socially. The workshop aims to create a platform for scientific dissemination and the exchange of ideas among leading neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, engineers, and computer scientists from the US and Europe in the area of reverse engineering of the human brain. Participants will develop and enhance collaborative links, and identify potential strategic opportunities for the benefit of the funding agencies, industry, research establishments and academia. The workshop will include 20 researchers each from the United States and from Europe. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, participants will come from the three areas of engineering, neurobiology and computer science. The broader impacts of the workshop will include: formation of international collaborations between US and European engineers and scientists; development of new foci for research in an emerging field; dissemination of the workshop outcomes to the engineering and scientific communities; and the expansion of interactions between the US and European government agencies.

一个题为“关于生物启发的设计信息学的联合美国欧洲裔研讨会：人类大脑的反向工程”，将于2010年5月在克罗地亚举行，由国家科学基金会（NSF），欧洲科学基金会（ESF）和美国空军科学研究办公室（AFOSR）共同支持。 该研讨会的主要重点是人脑的反向工程。 了解人脑如何操纵数据并开发解决方案有很大的兴趣。在过去的十年中，科学家和工程师已经进行了广泛的研究，以更好地了解人类脑功能，例如：如何将感知的物理世界转变为有用的代表，可以识别和行动；感官，认知和运动数据如何存储和检索；以及如何使用这些信息来做出决策和社交互动。该研讨会旨在在人类大脑反向工程领域的领先神经科学家，认知科学家，工程师和计算机科学家之间建立一个用于科学传播和思想交流的平台。 参与者将建立和增强协作联系，并确定潜在的战略机会，以使资助机构，行业，研究机构和学术界受益。该研讨会将包括来自美国和欧洲的20位研究人员。 由于该领域的跨学科性质，参与者将来自工程，神经生物学和计算机科学的三个领域。 研讨会的更广泛影响将包括：美国与欧洲工程师和科学家之间的国际合作；开发新兴领域研究的新焦点；将研讨会的成果传播到工程和科学社区；以及美国和欧洲政府机构之间互动的扩展。
