Marc Tessier-Lavigne做校長時對斯坦福神經研究所改名成吳蔡神經研究所表示祝賀。
吳蔡神經研究所所長William Newsome的主要研究方法是刺激靈長類腦部。這種方法對研究人類特有智力以及無人汽車和大數據語言模型的缺陷是否有幫助?
歐盟Human Brain project模擬動物腦和人腦的計劃早就失敗。美國BRAIN Initiative項目15名顧問中,錢永健教授奇怪早逝,其餘14名顧問中的3名來自斯坦福大學,包括William Newsome教授,份量很重。
現在BRAIN Initiative項目進展如何?疫情期間放寬和加速新冠疫苗審批可以理解。後來為什麽要放寬和加速阿茲海默症新藥的審批?美國眾議院都有報告說atypical。

According to an article in PNAS, "What sets Newsome's research apart from many other studies in this area is that the techniques he uses—primarily, stimulation of brain areas of primates with microelectrodes—have helped demonstrate cause and effect rather than merely show a correlation between behavior and activity of the brain."
