On December 6th, 1997, Brain Science Research Center (BSRC) had
its inauguration ceremony at Korea Advanced Institute of 
Science and Technology (KAIST).

Korean Ministry of Science and Technology announced a 10-year
national program on "brain researches" on September 30, 1997.
The research program consists of two main streams, i.e., 
developing brain-like computing systems and overcoming brain 
disease. Starting from 1998 the total budget will reach about
1 billion US dollars.

The KAIST BSRC will be the main research organization
for the brain-like computing systems, and 69 research
members had joined the BSRC from 18 Korean education and 
research organizatrion. Its seven research areas are
	o neurobiology
	o cognitive science
	o neural network models
	o hardware implementation of neural networks
	o artificial vision and auditory systems
	o inferrence technology
	o intelligent control and communication systems
