Brain Science & Artificial Intelligence

The human brain is one of the most sophisticated systems in nature. How to achieve direct communication between the brain and external devices has long been regarded as a core frontier at the intersection of neuroscience and information technology. With the global market size exceeding hundreds of billions of USD in 2025, its related fields are reshaping the global technology landscape at an annual growth rate of over 40%. Majors such as brain science, biomedical engineering, and AI have become popular academic choices. This program invites HKUST instructors specializing in bioengineering to deliver lectures on brain science, brain-computer technology, biomedical engineering, and computer science, covering topics such as the fundamentals of brain science and brainwaves, biomedical engineering, and brain-computer interfaces. Students will engage in practical activities such as simulated EEG signal acquisition and EEG signal processing. Through hands-on practice and deep learning, they will explore subjects like brain science, biomedical engineering, and computer science, and have an opportunity to visit tech enterprises or institutions to explore leading technologies and future developments in brain-computer technology or biomedical engineering in Hong Kong.
