The brain is composed of two intertwined aspects: the physical and the information processing. For the physical aspect, large-scale databases of the brain are being constructed by combining the latest measurement and information technologies, such as those used in the Allen Brain Atlas and the Human Connectome Project. In terms of information processing of brain, artificial intelligence inspired by the brain's structure and algorithms has made significant breakthroughs and produced products for general use, like ChatGPT. The concept of the "digital brain" focuses on integrating both of these aspects, databasing the brain and its information processing, to bring forth a new era of neuroscience. Seminars are being organized to further develop this concept.

Title：Creating bridges between the digital and physical realms with 3D vision
Abstract: Our modern societies strongly rely on machines to survive. These machines treat information in the digital world but interact with humans in the physical world. To bridge the gap between the digital and physical realms, we have dedicated our efforts to the creation of new AI-based 3D vision models. Our research has been centered on the task of capturing and modeling the human body, as this is fundamental for enhancing human-machine interactions. Leveraging generative AI, which learns from vast collections of images and videos, we have been able to gain insights into human body shapes, deformations, and semantic interactions within various scenes. This research represents a significant step toward the development of Large 3D Vision Models, which are essential for advancing machines toward greater autonomy and intelligence. In this talk, I will present the latest innovations in the creation of digital and autonomous human avatars, showcasing how these advancements are shaping the future of human-machine interactions.
