As part of the implementation of the scientific cooperation memorandum signed between the University of Information Technology and Communications and Imam Al-Ridha International University, the College of Biomedical Informatics held a scientific seminar titled: “Brain Simulation”. The seminar was delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Saleh Mohammed Reda Lashkri, a faculty member at Imam Al-Ridha International University, in the presence of several professors, researchers, and students of the college.

The seminar addressed the concept of brain simulation as a multidisciplinary scientific field that integrates computer science, biology, physics, and neural engineering. It aims to build computational models that replicate the functional structure of the human brain and its complex mechanisms, contributing to a deeper understanding of neural and cognitive processes.

The lecturer also reviewed the most prominent future applications of brain simulation, including the study and understanding of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and schizophrenia, as well as the development of advanced therapeutic approaches like deep brain stimulation. Additionally, the findings from these studies can be applied to improve artificial intelligence systems by understanding the mechanisms of learning and information processing in the human brain, and to design robots that mimic human behavior.

For his part, the University President, during his reception of the visiting delegation, emphasized the importance of enhancing scientific and academic cooperation between the two universities, praising the efforts made to support joint research activities and the exchange of expertise, contributing to the advancement of the academic level in modern medical and technological fields.
