The 25 of us were ensconced a cold rainy day in late summer of 2011 in Chicheley Hall, a bucolic country estate in Buckinghamshire, to discuss potential collaborations between neuroscience and nanoscience. We had been invited there under the auspices of four foundations: the Wellcome Trust, the Gatsby and Kavli Foundations, and the Allen Institute of Brain Science. In the last session of the meeting, I stood up and proposed the dream of developing novel technologies to record “every spike from every neuron” in a neural circuit.

BRAIN计划的起源：个人旅程

我们25个人在2011年夏末的一个阴雨天里被困在白金汉郡一个乡村乡村庄园奇切利大厅，讨论神经科学和纳米科学之间的潜在合作。我们是在四个基金会的主持下受邀参加的：惠康基金会，盖茨比基金会和卡夫利基金会以及艾伦脑科学研究所。在会议的最后一场会议上，我站起来提出了开发新技术以记录“神经回路中每个神经元的每个尖峰”的梦想。
