Neuroscience and Network Dynamics Toward Brain-Inspired Intelligence

This article surveys the interdisciplinary research of neuroscience, network science, and dynamic systems, with emphasis on the emergence of brain-inspired intelligence. To replicate brain intelligence, a practical way is to reconstruct cortical networks with dynamic activities that nourish the brain functions, instead of using only artificial computing networks. The survey provides a complex network and spatiotemporal dynamics (abbr. network dynamics) perspective for understanding the brain and cortical networks and, furthermore, develops integrated approaches of neuroscience and network dynamics toward building brain-inspired intelligence with learning and resilience functions. Presented are fundamental concepts and principles of complex networks, neuroscience, and hybrid dynamic systems, as well as relevant studies about the brain and intelligence. Other promising research directions, such as brain science, data science, quantum information science, and machine behavior are also briefly discussed toward future applications.
