Human brain computing and brain-inspired intelligence

The relationship between structure, neural activity dynamics, and intelligent human brain function is complex and multifaceted with deep roots in several academic disciplines.Its understanding is a fundamental goal of brain research [1], and may indicate the way towards the next generation of artificial intelligence [2].There are major challenges on the way, several of which are addressed in this special issue of National Science Review.First, establishing a computational neuronal network model of the human
