  2. Content • About the previous report • Brain-Computer Interface Technology (BCI) • Related industries • What companies or products will Benefit from BCI • Business model

  3. About Brown University • Founded in 1764 • Private university • One of the Ivy League • Ranks 15th in US (2012) • Alumni

  4. Computer Science Dept. (CS) • Founded in 1979 • Undergraduate and graduate levels • One of the best faculties • Ranks 20th in CS (2012)

  5. Research areas • Graphics • Linguistic Information Processing (BLLIP) • Data Management • Brain Science • Artificial Intelligence • Programming Languages • Visualization Research Lab • Theory and Algorithm • Visualization Research Lab • Center for Vision Research • Center for Computational Molecular Biology • Software Engineering… • For more information, please visit • http://www.cs.brown.edu/research/areas.html

  6. The top 3 areas (just my view) • Graphics

  7. The top 3 areas • Linguistic Information Processing (BLLIP) • Brain Science

  8. Three researchers • Robert C. Zeleznik • Computer Graphics Group • MathPaperproject • Enrich handwritten mathematics • writer-independent math recognition • Real-time recognition • Students, teachers and professionals

  9. Three researchers • Andy van Dam • Computer Graphics • Hypermedia systems • Educational software • One of the Computer Science Dept.'s co-founders and its first chairman • He has been working for over four decades on systems for creating and reading electronicbooks with interactive illustrations for usein teaching and research • More information about Van Dam: • http://cs.brown.edu/people/avd/

  10. Three researchers • James Hays • Computer graphics, Computer vision, and Computational photography • Focus on using “Internet-scale” data andcrowd-sourcing to improve scene understanding and allow smarter image synthesis and manipulation Estimating geographic information from a single image Scene completion usingmillions of photographs An empirical study of context in object detection

  11. Paper “SUN Attribute Database: Discovering, Annotating, and Recognizing Scene Attributes” ——James Hays 2012. • Classifier • Scene understanding and recognition

  12. Paper • Highlight • Image classification based on scene attributes • Average precision reaches about 95% • Difficulty • Attribute extraction significantly • How to obtain high precision in large-scale sense condition • Value • Building a “SUN Attribute Database” • Scene understanding • Scene recognition

  13. Brain-Computer Interface How far the AVATAR age is away from us? AVATAR

  14. Brain-Computer Interface • Combine Computer Science with Biological Science • Mind control machine • BCI is a method of communication based on neural activity generated by the brain

  15. Brain-Computer Interface • Brown’s BCI • Paralyzed in arms • 15 years • Drink water • First human control machine in the world

  16. Related industries • Health care industry • Hospital • Medical equipment company • Precision instrument • Artificial limb • Robot • Material industry • Information Technology • Hardware • Software • …

  17. Benefit to… • Large-scale hospital • Peking University Shenzhen Hospital • Robot companies • The iRobot (US) • Shenzhen DateerRobot Corporation • Apple Inc.  • No keyboard, no mouse • Not only speech, but also mind control • Intel (chip development) • Microsoft (software) • Google • What is the customer want most ?

  18. What should I do ? • Experimentalresearch stage • Orientation

  19. Future Research and Imagination • Electrode, even wireless connection • Instead of implanting with a chip • The whole cerebral cortex • Computer and  the Brain communicate with each other The storage of our brain may be 100T or more?
