<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Understanding brain function is one of the greatest challenges facing science. Today, brain science is experiencing rapid changes and is expected to achieve major advances in the near future. In April 2013,
U.S. President Barack Obama formally announced the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative, the BRAIN Initiative. In Europe, the European Commission has recently launched the European Human Brain Project (HBP). In the private
sector, the Allen Institute for Brain Science is embarking on a new 10-year plan to generate comprehensive, large-scale data in the mammalian cerebral cortex under the MindScope project. These ongoing and emerging projects are expected to generate a deluge
of data that capture the brain activities at different levels of organization. There is thus a compelling need to develop the next generation of data mining and knowledge discovery tools that allow one to make sense of this raw data and to understand how neurological
activity encodes information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
