Abstract

New technologies to probe the nervous system are propelling innovation and discovery at blinding speed, but are our trainees prepared to maximize this power? The growing role of engineering in research, such as materials, computing, electronics, and devices, compels us to rethink neuroscience education. Core technology requirements, cross-disciplinary education, open-source resources, and experiential learning are new ways we can efficiently equip future leaders to make the next disruptive discoveries.

摘要

新技术可以深入研究神经系统，推动创新和发现的速度达到惊人的程度，但我们的学员是否为此做好了准备？工程学在材料、计算、电子和设备等方面的作用日益增强，迫使我们重新思考神经科学教育。核心技术要求、跨学科教育、开源资源和体验式学习是我们能够有效培养未来领导者以实现下一次颠覆性发现的新途径。
