Abstract This Conte Center represents a collaboration of five senior scientists and several accomplished junior scientists, with expertise spanning domains of neural systems studies in humans, cellular and neuron ensemble studies in nonhuman primates and computational modeling, addressing brain operations at each level. We focus on a critical issue of broad scientific and translational importance – the brain's rhythmic dynamics and their mechanistic roles as instruments that the brain uses to optimize its goal-directed sampling of information, or “Active Sensing.” We are all leaders in our fields, as shown by our records of publications, grants and conceptual/technical innovation. We each bring with us networks of trainees and colleagues who share our dedication to find a break-through in our mechanistic understanding of brain dynamics, as well as a clear recognition that this is by necessity a multidisciplinary enterprise, ideally suited to, and in fact requiring, a support mechanism like the Conte Center. Core A has several necessary supervisory and administrative functions, including serving as the communication backbone of the Center, and maintaining the highest standards of ethical and financial accountability across the Center. This core will also be responsible for supporting evaluative and constructive activities including the annual External Scientific Advisory Committee meeting, the semiannual Internal Scientific and Educational Advisory Committee meetings, and the semi-monthly Steering Committee meetings. This Core will support educational outreach activities including: 1) the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE), 2) the diversity and Under-Represented Minority Fellowship program, 3) the Women-in-Science Symposia, 4) the Center's Seminar Series at Columbia, 5) a weekly Web Journal Club, and 6) the Center's participation in a science journal for teenagers initiated by 2 of our Project Leaders – Frontiers for Young Minds. (http://kids.frontiersin.org/). Core A will support team- building, scientific exchange and programmatic refinement of the Center during the Annual Center Retreat, and several levels of technical support to Projects and Cores, as well as a Center Website and other forms of Public Outreach. In this revised application, we are significantly expanding the Center's emphasis on electrical stimulation and pharmacological manipulations that provide more direct access to underlying “causal” mechanisms, and Core A support is critical to that venture. Beyond all of this this our overarching goal is to provide the greatest possible support for synergy across projects in the Center and for the Center's intellectual agility so that it can exploit new discoveries, and adapt to problems and challenges that emerge during its funding cycle. We will pursue this goal on multiple levels. The timeline of Core A activities relative to the Center as a whole is given in “Overall” Fig 17.

抽象的 这个孔戴中心代表了五位高级科学家和几位成熟的初中的合作 科学家，具有跨越人类神经元系统研究领域的专业知识，细胞和神经元 在非人类隐私和计算建模方面的合奏研究，解决每个人的大脑操作 等级。我们专注于广泛的科学和翻译重要性的关键问题 - 大脑的节奏 动态及其机械作用作为大脑用来优化目标定向采样的工具 信息，或“主动传感”。如我们的出版物记录所示，我们都是我们领域的领导者 赠款和概念/技术创新。我们每个人都带来了我们的受训者和同事网络 分享我们的奉献精神，以在我们对脑动力学的机械理解中找到突破性以及 明确的认识是，这是必要的多学科企业，非常适合，实际上需要一个 支持机制，例如孔戴中心。核心A有几个必要的监督和管理 功能，包括用作中心的通信骨干，并保持最高 整个中心的道德和财务责任标准。该核心也将负责 支持评估和建设性活动，包括年度外部科学咨询 委员会会议，半年度内部科学和教育咨询委员会会议，以及 半月份指导委员会会议。该核心将支持教育外展活动，包括： 1）夏季本科研究经验（当然），2）多样性和代表性不足的少数民族 奖学金计划，3）妇女科学专题讨论会，4）中心在哥伦比亚的研讨会系列，5）a 每周网络期刊俱乐部，以及6）中心参与了由2个由2的《科学杂志》 我们的项目领导者 - 年轻人的前沿。 （http://kids.frontiersin.org/）。核心A将支持团队 - 在年度中心期间，该中心建造，科学交流和程序化改进 务虚会，以及对项目和核心的几个技术支持，以及中心网站和其他 公共宣传的形式。在此修订的应用程序中，我们大大扩展了该中心对 电刺激和药理操作，可提供更直接访问基础的电源 “因果”机制和核心支持对该企业至关重要。除此之外，这是我们的总体 目标是在中心和中心的项目中为协同作用提供最大的可能支持 智力敏捷性，以便它可以利用新发现，并适应出现的问题和挑战 在其资金周期中。我们将在多个层面上追求这个目标。核心A活动的时间表相对于 整个中心在“整体”图17中给出。
