Establishing a laboratory for neurotechnology/brain-machine interface research in terms of industry research, policy analysis, and technological standardization.

  1. Neuroethics Research: Focusing on the ethical and policy implications of neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces, we delve into the future challenges cognitive neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces pose to individual privacy and rights. From a policy standpoint, we explore the necessary regulations. Our efforts include the composition of a series of scholarly articles advocating for the standardization and policy formulation of brain-computer interface technology, as well as its localization within China. Additionally, we may produce annual reports to establish guidelines for the future of the industry.
  2. Industry-university-research cooperation among West China Xiamen Hospital of Sichuan University, Paris Brain Institute (ICM), and IDEAS: The Hospital possesses a distinct advantage in terms of patient resources and the establishment of instrumental platforms. Meanwhile, ICM excels in advanced research in neuroscience and neurology and incubates industrial innovations. The IDEAS Neurotechnology Research Lab serves as a nexus for industry-academia cooperation, facilitating overseas startups whilst leveraging the resources of the Hospital in terms of neuroregulation technologies. We assist these startups in conducting clinical experiments and software development, thereby providing technical references for the standardization of the brain-computer interfaces industry.
  3. Social Cognitive Psychology Laboratory: Examining the influence of human behavior, emotions, and values on diverse policy perspectives.
  4. Brain science and Brain-Computer Interface Monographs/Popular Science Translations.
