2022·北京脑科学大会饶毅开幕致辞：坚持对的、优雅的、有创造性的脑科学研究

2022·北京脑科学国际学术大会

饶毅教授开幕致辞

（致辞中英全文）

好奇心推动的科学家认真从事的

研究是好的科学研究

欢迎大家参加第二届北京脑科学国际学术大会（BBC）。

BBC的主办单位是北京脑科学与类脑研究中心（CIBR, Beijing）和北京其他脑科学机构。

CIBR成立已经4年，有32个实验室，8个技术平台。他们的研究从分子、细胞到系统水平，也重视学科交叉。CIBR已经有一百多位研究生、五十多位博士后，他们活跃在脑科学前沿。

虽然外界对于“应用”、“应用”、“应用”， “疾病”、“疾病”、“疾病”喧嚣不已，CIBR坚信：

第一，由好奇心驱动的、科学家发起的、研究人员认真实验精心分析的是好科学的主流，特别是生命科学、脑科学的核心。

第二，虽然在有些科学，例如人工智能，大数据有重要贡献。但是，迄今为止，在脑科学，耗费大量经费、数据驱动的研究从来没有对探索脑的奥秘或者改善脑疾病的诊断和治疗起到任何重要作用。实际上，迄今为止，即使是在更广泛的生命科学，耗费大量经费、数据驱动的研究充其量只有边缘性、辅助性的作用。

我们应该不被金钱所引诱，而应该坚持对的、优雅的、有创造性的脑科学、生命科学研究。

历史将谴责所有以科学的名义而利欲熏心的研究人员，生产不加分析的资料是垃圾，只抢大钱而无真正科学意义的发现与科学的罪人没有本质区别。

Research by Curiosity-Driven Scientists Is Good Science

Welcome to the second BBC——Beijing Brain Conference.

BBC is sponsored by the Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing (CIBR，Beijing）and other neuroscience institutes in Beijing.

CIBR has been established for 4 years, presently with 32 laboratories and 8 technical platforms. Our research areas span from molecular, cellular to systems levels, with cross-disciplinary interactions encouraged. CIBR now has more than 100 graduate students and more than 50 postdoctoral fellows, active at the frontiers of neuroscience research.

While there is much noise about application, application, application, or diseases, diseases and diseases, CIBR firmly believes：

Firstly, that curiosity-driven, investigator-initiated, carefully executed and in-depth analyzed research will remain the mainstream of good science, and the core of neuroscience and life sciences.

Secondly, while big data has made important contributions to some disciplines of sciences such as artificial intelligence, that research consuming large amounts of funds and driven by data has never played a significant role in our understanding of the brain, or in improving either the diagnosis or treatment of brain diseases. In fact, so far, even in the more broad life sciences, data-driven research consuming large amounts of funding has, at the most, played a marginal role.

We should not be enticed by funds and should pursue the right, elegant and creative research that will lead to discoveries advancing our understanding of the brain and related diseases.

History will judge those who are greedy for money under the pretense of science. Data produced by much funding with little analysis is garbage and those who grab money without scientifically valuable discoveries are not fundamentally different from criminals.
