On August 10th, the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute reached a cooperation agreement with the joint research group of Wu Haiyan from the University of Macau and Liu Quanying from Southern University of Science and Technology. The research institute will provide funding and collection tools to fill the key gap in the construction of the first large-scale Chinese corpus stimulated EEG dataset in China. This is also the first project to be launched 10 days after the research institute announced the launch of MindX data support program.

The head of the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute in China introduced that the MindX data support program is aimed at Chinese neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, psychologists, as well as neurologists and psychiatrists. Under the premise of safety and compliance, it supports the collection, analysis, and training of human brain and related systemic and behavioral data. The plan provides an initial funding of 100 million yuan, while also providing free infrastructure such as storage servers and computing power, innovative data collection technologies, as well as AI and data professional talent resources.

It is reported that at the end of July this year, after the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute released the data support plan at the annual meeting of the Chinese Society of Neuroscience, multiple research teams submitted applications on the same day. After a rapid evaluation and communication of the scientific value, safety, and feasibility of the project, we quickly implemented the first funding. Currently, the research institute is in close talks with dozens of teams, hoping to help more scientists and doctors as soon as possible. The funding plan is long-term and effective. Interested applicants can send an email to MindX@cheninstitute.orgThis person in charge introduces.

Assistant Professor Wu Haiyan, the leader of the ANDlab project at the Cognitive and Brain Science Research Center of the University of Macau, said, "The collection, management, and analysis of massive brain science data is a recognized challenge, which greatly restricts the application of new generation AI represented by large models in related fields. The MindX data support program launched by the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute timely meets the general needs of scientists and clinical doctors."

Taking the funded "High channel EEG dataset under Chinese corpus stimulation" as an example, one approach to decoding non-invasive EEG is to record the EEG generated by individuals under specific stimuli and establish an AI model for alignment. At present, the EEG dataset under the stimulation of foreign soundtrack movies is relatively complete, while the EEG dataset under the stimulation of large-scale Chinese language corpus is still blank. To this end, the research team led by Wu Haiyan from the University of Macau, together with several young scholars from the interdisciplinary fields of neuroscience and AI at home and abroad, is working together to explore a suitable framework for EEG collection under corpus stimulation for Chinese people. They plan to construct the first large-scale multi-channel EEG dataset under Chinese corpus stimulation. In the future, on the basis of big data support, training EEG encoding models to align with Chinese big models will promote EEG based semantic decoding technology and brain computer interface applications, and further deepen human understanding of brain learning, language, memory, and attention mechanisms.

Recently, with the approval of the National Medical Products Administration, the Class 1 innovative drug CC312 developed by Huihe Biotechnology has initiated phase I clinical trials for the treatment of recurrent/refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant hematological tumors. This is the first domestically and the third globally approved triple specific antibody drug based on CD28 co stimulatory signals to enter clinical practice. When it comes to the development history of this new triple antibody drug, Dr. Zhu Huaxing, the founder of Huihe Biotechnology, still remembers vividly: "Before 2019, there was no triple antibody drug approved for clinical use globally, and some investors couldn't understand CC312. During a critical period of company development, Nokai Xinkang Fund invested 30 million yuan to help us complete Series A financing." Nokai Xinkang is a venture capital fund initiated by Xinze Entrepreneurship Incubator. This incubation company, which has been deeply cultivated in Zhangjiang Science City for many years

"The college entrance examination is an experience in our lives. Looking back on the preparation for the entire senior year of high school, we cannot help but marvel at the preciousness of time. No matter what difficulties we have gone through, I believe that as long as we persist, it will become my lifelong wealth. Today, after completing the morning foreign language listening and speaking test of the college entrance examination, Xiao Song, a senior student of Lingling High School, came out of the examination center of East China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Middle School. The senior year graduate sitting in a wheelchair said," Although academic and life are not small tests for me, I have faced many difficulties in adversity and have never given up on my dream of taking the college entrance examination. "Xiao Song suffered from congenital muscular dystrophy since childhood and entered Lingling High School in high school." Later, the school provided him with classrooms on low floors and close to the toilet, making it easier for him to enter and exit, allowing him to face his academic life with more confidence. At school, I met many kind and enthusiastic people
