The Government of Canada announced new funding recently in support of a major, new multidisciplinary research initiative being led by York 카지노게임사이트 and supported by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. The seven-year project 카지노 게임 컬렉션� called Connected Minds: Neural and Machine Systems for a Healthy, Just Society 카지노 게임 컬렉션� received over $105 million from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) to assess the potential risks and benefits of technology for humanity. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is set to receive $22.8 million of the federal funds.

Leading the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s portion of the project is Connected Minds카지노 게임 컬렉션� Vice-Director, Gunnar Blohm, a computational neuroscientist with the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s . He카지노 게임 컬렉션�s set to contribute administrative, teaching, and research expertise to the venture, which seeks to explore the ever-deepening relationship between humans and disruptive technologies.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�In my field of study, we create mathematical models, use artificial intelligence, and design computer simulations to gain insights into the mechanics of brain function and motor control,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Blohm. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Within this project, I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m particularly excited to look at the emerging behaviours of networks, whether these are networks of neurons within the human brain, networks of people, or networks between people and technological devices. Insights we gain here could help us understand how to improve technology for the benefit of society while limiting its potential for harm.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

To illustrate one way Connected Minds could inform more thoughtful technological development, Dr. Blohm points to Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s signing of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development카지노 게임 컬렉션�s (OECD) .

카지노 게임 컬렉션�While Canada is a signatory of this agreement, we currently have no guidelines to instruct how we would achieve its goals,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Connected Minds team will work toward establishing such guidelines, as they will be crucial in ensuring technological development is done in service of a diverse and equitable global society. It makes good economic sense as well, given that socially responsible technologies are more and more commercially attractive.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Building the project from the ground up

In addition to his research responsibilities, Dr. Blohm is set to coordinate and administer Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s-based activities 카지노 게임 컬렉션� which span the governance, outreach, and commercialization aspects of the project.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s will be fully integrated into Connected Minds at all levels, and our participating faculty researchers complement York카지노 게임 컬렉션�s team with expertise in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, robotics, and neurotechnology, particularly that with a health focus,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�As part of phase one, we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve created co-leadership roles at all levels of the project, convened a joint York-Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Indigenous advisory circle, and now we are working to establish the administrative structure, which includes striking committees, drafting terms of reference, and recruiting new faculty and staff.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In addition to the CFREF investment the project will engage more than 50 community partners and research collaborators, that will see institutional and multi-sector contributions that bring the overall investment in the project to $318.4 million.

Multidisciplinary collaboration and learning

Once underway, Dr. Blohm sees the multidisciplinary nature of the project as pivotal.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�No breakthrough today is achieved by single people. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s always teams 카지노 게임 컬렉션� always fields of research working together,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Connected Minds will be a tremendous way for investigators and students to take research to the next level.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

CFREF funding has allowed Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to commit to hiring nine tenure-track faculty positions and support for 50 graduate trainees and 27 postdoctoral fellows.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�There will be a range of opportunities for the wider Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community to get involved," says Dr. Blohm. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�These include trainee funding, large group grants, commercialization funds, and educational initiatives. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s truly an exciting time for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, for York, and for Canada.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

As a passionate educator, he sees Connected Minds changing the way we innovate, teach, and live, and is determined that these changes help not only Canadians, but everyone around the world.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�One of my goals is to democratize access to knowledge and education,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Blohm, who co-created Neuromatch Academy 카지노 게임 컬렉션� a worldwide training program that provides equitable access to computational neuroscience training to students regardless of geography, nationality, socioeconomic status, or other factors. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Connected Minds has partnered with Neuromatch on elements of this project, which I believe will accelerate our initiatives to expand access to learning.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
