The field of brain science (or neuroscience in a broader sense) has inspired researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) for a long time. The outcomes of neuroscience such as Hebb's rule had profound effects on the early AI models, and the models have developed to become the current state-of-the-art artificial neural networks. However, the recent progress in AI led by deep learning architectures is mainly due to elaborate mathematical methods and the rapid growth of computing power rather than neuroscientific inspiration. Meanwhile, major limitations such as opacity, lack of common sense, narrowness, and brittleness have not been thoroughly resolved. To address those problems, many AI researchers turn their attention to neuroscience to get insights and inspirations again. Biologically plausible neural networks, spiking neural networks, and connectome-based networks exemplify such neuroscience-inspired approaches. In addition, the more recent field of brain network analysis is unveiling complex brain mechanisms by handling the brain as dynamic graph models. We argue that the progress toward the human-level AI, which is the goal of AI, can be accelerated by leveraging the novel findings of the human brain network.

뇌는 신경세포로 이루어진 거대한 시스템이다. 이러한 뇌의 특징은 자기조직 시스템이면서 외계의 정보구조에 맞추어서 자신의 능력을 높일 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 뇌는 병렬정보처리 방식을 대폭적으로 채용한 시스템으로서 제어기구가 전체적으로 분산되어 있다. 이러한 뇌의 동작은 구조적으로 안정적이며 그 구성소자가 어느 정도 파괴되더라도 우수한 동작특성을 유지할 수 있다. 이것은 뇌에 있어서 정보가 거시화 및 분산화 되어 있다는 증거이며, 연상기억과 내용 어드레스 기억 등과 같은 탁월한 기억방식을 실현할 뿐만 아니라 망각능력도 가지고 있다. 현실의 뇌 그 자체를 조사하는 것이 어려운 상황에서는 뇌에 관한 여러 가지 모델을 만들고 이 모델을 구체적으로 상세히 조사함으로써 현실의 뇌를 이해하고자하는 방법이 중요시 된다. 본 강연에서는 이러한 구성적 방법론의 필요성 및 뇌의 생리학적 측면, 뇌의 모델로서의 측면 그리고 신경회로망의 발전단계와 뇌 과학의 세계적 연구동향에 관하여 살펴본다.

To develop a creative design concept, amount of idea thinking between team members is important. In the process of planning to proposal brainstorming helps clarification of problems and allows a creative solution. Here, idea generation is to express thinking into words, and greater amount of idea is more valued than to choose one fine idea at first. This paper studies actual processes of brainstorming, and we utilize network services upgraded in Web and multimedia techniques to develop idea with arrangement. We compare the amount of idea generation by groups and topics with Brainwriting and Braindrawing of Webstorming, without limitation of space and time. Then, we propose a creative idea thinking by analyzing the characteristics of design team members in various aspects. This result will contribute in improving national potential value and design competitiveness by the help of design and IT, on product research and marketing.

Advancements in segmentation methodology has made automatic segmentation of brain structures using structural images accurate and consistent. One method of automatic segmentation, which involves registering atlas information from template space to subject space, requires a high quality atlas with accurate boundaries for consistent segmentation. The Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, which has been widely accepted as a high quality reference of the mouse brain, has been used in various segmentations and can provide accurate coordinates and boundaries of mouse brain structures for tractography. Through probabilistic tractography, diffusion tensor images can be used to map comprehensive neuronal network of white matter pathways of the brain. Comparisons between neural networks of mouse and human brains showed that various clinical tests on mouse models were able to simulate disease pathology of human brains, increasing the importance of clinical mouse brain studies. However, differences between brain size of human and mouse brain has made it difficult to achieve the necessary image quality for analysis and the conditions for sufficient image quality such as a long scan time makes using live samples unrealistic. In order to secure a mouse brain image with a sufficient scan time, an Ex-vivo experiment of a mouse brain was conducted for this study. Using FSL, a tool for analyzing tensor images, we proposed a semi-automated segmentation and tractography analysis pipeline of the mouse brain and applied it to various mouse models. Also, in order to determine the useful signal-to-noise ratio of the diffusion tensor image acquired for the tractography analysis, images with various excitation numbers were compared.

The opening of advertising market and introduction of the free competition doctrine make the competition harsher among advertising agencies. Advertising agencies do their best to execute their ad more efficiently and scientifically. But, it is the reality that broadcasting advertising industry in korea did not construct enough infrastructure to execute the systematic activities compared with that of advanced countries. So, we need to grasp the present conditions and draw a time-table to construct primarily necessary infrastructures. In case of hardware infrastructure in advertising industry, digitalization of broadcasting and convergence of broadcasting with telecommunication make it hurry to construct that. But as the ad agencies was in the situation to compete each other, they have a difficulty to construct common hardware infrastructure enthusiastically. Thus, it is necessary to build hardware infrastructure in advertising industry for policy. And the construction of that should be executed systematically not for the short term effects but for the long term objectives. Also, it is the most important to construct reliable Software infrastructure in advertising industry from all of ad agencies. In these days, ad agencies have a tendency not to believe the important information, like the data of ratings and advertising transaction information, in relation to the advertising activities. And they do not share and communicate about the information of the advertising industry trends, research trends, advertisement related information. So, it is also hurry to build the on-line and off-line database system. Finally, for the development of brainware infrastructure in advertising industry, it is the most necessary to activate the cooperation relation between university and advertising agencies. Universities need to invite experts in the advertising to teach the students practical knowledge and ad agencies to recruit students who want to develop their carrier in the advertising industries. In conclusion, advertising industry in korea to solve these tasks for the development of advertising industry infrastructure in the way of cooperation and harmony of each other rationally and efficiently.
