What is neuroinformatics? What is the Human Brain Project? Why should you care? Supported by a consortium of US funding agencies, the Human Brain Project aims to bring to the analysis of brain function the same advantages of Internet-accessible databases and database tools that have been crucial to the development of molecular biology and the Human Genome Project. The much greater complexity of neural data, however, makes this a far more challenging task. As a pilot project in this new initiative, we review some of the progress that has been made and indicate some of the problems, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
什么是神经信息学？什么是人类大脑计划？你为什么要关心？在美国多个资助机构组成的财团的支持下，人类大脑计划旨在将对脑功能分析的优势带入互联网可访问数据库和数据库工具中，这些优势对分子生物学和人类基因组计划的发展至关重要。然而，神经数据的复杂性要高得多，这使得这项任务面临更大的挑战。作为这一新举措的一个试点项目，我们回顾了已取得的一些进展，并指出了一些未来面临的问题、挑战和机遇。
