The centre has four core laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment. The Neuroimaging Core Laboratory has a 3T functional magnetic resonance imaging system, a series of functional near-infrared spectroscopy systems, and electroencephalography devices. The Brain Intervention Core Laboratory is equipped with brain stimulation systems for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The Behavioural Data Acquisition Core Laboratory is equipped with eye trackers and wireless physiological recording systems. The High-Performance Computing Core Laboratory has GPU computing platforms to carry out deep-learning tasks and perform as virtual data centres. According to Prof Yuan, the advanced facilities and extensive multidisciplinary collaboration enabled In search of breakthroughs in cognitive mechanisms, brain diseases, brain-inspired artificial intelligence, and other fields, the United States, the European Union, Japan, and other countries and regions have launched long-term and large-scale programmes. In 2021, China put forward the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 - ‘Brain Science and Brain-Like Research’ Key Programme to support cutting-edge studies across the country. Bringing Together Experts in Different Fields Founded in 2017, the ICI supports multidisciplinary research and the training of innovative professionals in collaboration with institutions in Macao, in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), as well as across China and overseas. As part of the ICI, CCBS is dedicated to multidisciplinary projects that bring together expertise from all UM faculties and institutes. ‘Every thought and action originate in the brain, so CCBS projects go beyond natural sciences to include arts, humanities, social sciences, law, education, business administration, and other fields,’ says Yuan Zhen, head of CCBS and professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences. 袁振教授 Prof Yuan Zhen
