COURSE INTRO

Course Introduction 01

The brain is the most amazing organ of the human body. The brain is in charge of human cognition of the external world, and the electrical signals between its neurons are like the stars in the night sky. With the development of modern technology, our understanding of the brain has deepened, and industries inspired by neuroscience, such as AI, have seen unprecedented development. However, the exploration of the human brain and mind still has a long way to go; the next milestone breakthrough in AI seems distant, while cognitive neuroscience is currently the most powerful means of exploration.

"BioX Cognitive Neuroscience" will take you deep into understanding the basic structure of the brain, advanced cognitive functions, and more. Engage in cognitive experiments to learn experimental principles and deepen theoretical understanding; through reading papers and participating in roundtable discussions, explore the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and other disciplines, combining current hot topics such as brain-machine interfaces, and pondering and discussing the possibilities of future cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience technology.

"What XA has brought to me, the improvement of CS literacy goes without saying, but what I am more grateful for is being able to meet the top and most outstanding peers of my age. I have seen living MIT, CIT students, consulted TAs who can do nothing but debug, and also gained a bunch of board game friends. Perhaps saying that my dream is to change the world will be laughed at by people, but XA has given me the confidence to turn my dreams into reality."

This road is long, and the places to go are filled with poetry and ideals. The tears and sweat left behind yesterday make me more tenacious and courageous now. This is what XA has taught me: we can always be a little braver."

WE, AT X ACADEMY, ARE HERE TO REVITALIZE THAT SPIRIT. TO US, THE FUTURE IS A CANVAS OF VAST POSSIBILITY, PAINTED WITH THE BRUSHES OF INNOVATION, CREATIVITY, AND OPTIMISM. WE BELIEVE IN A FUTURE WHERE TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO BE THE BACKBONE OF ADVANCEMENT, NOT JUST IN MATERIAL TERMS BUT AS A MEANS TO ELEVATE HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS. WE ARE THE FUTURE OPTIMISTS, THE DREAMERS, THE MAKERS, AND THE DOERS. WE STAND READY TO COLLABORATE, TO INNOVATE, AND TO BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW WITH YOU. JOIN US, AS WE EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY TO IGNITE THE FLAMES OF PROGRESS AND TO CHERISH THE TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE. IT IS TIME, ONCE AGAIN, TO RAISE THE TECHNOLOGY FLAG.
