国际暑期学校简介

    拥有缤纷复杂的精神世界是人作为地球上万物之灵的最本质的要素。二十一世纪人类文明特别是生物医学的飞跃发展把人的寿命和器官健康带到了新的水平，从而使人类越来越关注我们与其它生物所不同的精神世界的功能与健康。Bio-X研究院经过十数年的成长，在中科院贺林院士的带领下，已成为精神健康科研与实践领域中国首屈一指的研究基地之一，并在国际精神疾病领域具有了相当高的名气和地位。自2013年，我们开设了《脑的真相》全英文暑期课程，连续两年聘请多名有权威性影响力的世界学术大师，为学生介绍大脑的真相与奥秘，极大地提高了学生对脑科学的兴趣与热情。2015-2016年，Bio-X研究院首次携手在精神心理与神经科学领域享誉盛名的英国伦敦国王学院，成功举办了SJTU-KCL《脑的真相》国际暑期学校，2017-2018年，Bio-X研究院继续举办了《脑的真相》国际暑期学校，受到参与者的一致好评。明年我们将在继续举办2019年《脑的真相》国际暑期学校，欢迎国内外对神经科学领域感兴趣的本科生、研究生、博士后及专家学者参与。

    本次《脑的真相》国际暑期学校将聘请国内外顶尖的专家学者，他们都是在各自的科学研究领域有影响力的学者，其中很多都已受聘担任“中国超级大脑研究中心” 及“中国超级大脑人才库”的国际顾问。暑期学校计划围绕脑科学，通过组织一系列课程、讲座、研讨会、工作坊、企业实践实习和文化采风等，力争办成脑科学的科研与实践的特色项目。内容涉及脑科学的最前沿学术研究，同时与物理学、医学、心理学等学科交叉，形式多样、内容丰富有趣。

    2019年《脑的真相》国际暑期学校力图为海外及我校年轻学子和知名专家提供一个丰富的脑科学前沿交流平台，培养学生对脑科学的兴趣与爱好，提升学生参与科研创新等活动的能力，同时为海外学者及学生亲身实地认识交大以及中国提供机会。

2019年《脑的真相》国际暑期学校日程安排表

Overview

    Complex and amazing brain entitles human being to be the wisest creature on earth. In the 21st century, rapid developments of human civilization and technology, especially biomedicine, not only make us healthier and longevous, but also helps us pay more attention to functions and health of our mind. After more than 10 years of growth, Bio-X Institutes became one of the best centers of researches and practices of mental health under the leadership of Academician Lin He. Ever since 2013 when our Institutes first launched the English course called Brain Facts, we have invited a series of world leading scientists two years in a row to give students lessons. In 2015 and 2016, we successfully held SJTU-KCL Brain Facts International Summer School. This is the first time that professors and researchers of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and King's College London as well as other top universities and institutions worldwide join hands together to participate in an International Summer School. In 2017 and 2018, we continue holding Brain Facts International Summer School, and gain popularity year by year. In 2019, our Institutes will continually hold the SJTU Brain Facts International Summer School. We warmly welcome undergraduates, postgraduates and research fellows who are interested in this field all come and join this grand gathering.

    2019 SJTU Brain Facts International Summer School will be taught by the leading scientists worldwide, some of which are masters in perspective fields. By organizing courses, lectures, seminars, workshop, field trips and study tours, summer school will dig in the mystery of brain and mental health, one of the most attractive issues for the modern humankind. By focusing on the advances of neuroscience and the facts of the brain, the summer school intends to trigger the curiosity of the students on the mystery of brain, train students to investigate, think, discuss and present their own opinions on the important scientific issues. Students or postdoctoral fellows who are interested in doing cutting age experiments in the labs are also welcomed, because Course B will help enhance your practice skills and link theory with practice. Besides, activities and sightseeing will be arranged to facilitate the participants to immerse to English and Chinese culture and life.

    2019 SJTU Brain Facts International Summer School provides a valuable opportunity for the students to expand their horizon, comprehensive understanding of mental health and neuroscience. All activities held during this summer school aim at providing a good platform for the participants to get a well-known of the current trends of the subjects and make good communication between students home and abroad, promoting students’ knowledge of brain and neuroscience and a deep understanding of the culture of Shanghai. This activity is doomed to boost talent development and internationalization of teaching, thus helping achieve our goal of creative talent cultivation reform.
