Three Grand Challenges for Brain Science That Can Be Solved in 10 Years

One of the great scientific challenges is to understand the human brain. Research teams around the world are gathering data at breakneck speed on everything from the brain’s connectome and the way it computes to the nature of brain disease and how it can be better diagnosed and treated. And yet bringing together this work in a way that produces achievable goals is still a problem. So later this month the international brain science community will sit down in New York to work out how to coordinate its work on important common goals.   But exactly what these goals should be, nobody knows. So an important outstanding question is: what grand challenges should brain scientists focus on? Today, we get an answer thanks to a brainstorming session held earlier this…
