Brain-Computer Interface

主講人：莊鈞翔 博士

腦機介面，是在人或動物腦（或者腦細胞的培養物）與外部裝置間建立的直接連接通路。在單向人機介面的情況下，電腦或者接受腦傳來的命令，或者傳送訊號到腦（例如影片重建），但不能同時傳送和接收訊號[1]。而雙向人機介面允許腦和外部裝置間的雙向資訊交換。

一些實驗室已實現從猴和大鼠的大腦皮層上記錄訊號以便操作人機介面來實現運動控制。實驗讓猴只是通過回想給定的任務（而沒有任何動作發生）來操縱螢幕上的電腦游標並且控制機械臂完成簡單的任務。另外在貓上進行的研究對視覺訊號進行了解碼。

EEG and Cognitive Development

主講人：梁朝雲 特聘教授

Designers are adept at determining similarities between previously seen objects and new creations using visual association. However, extant research on the visual association of designers and the differences between expert and novice designers when they engage in the visual association task are scant. Using electroencephalography (EEG), this study attempted to narrow this research gap. Sixteen healthy designers—eight experts and eight novices—were recruited, and asked to perform visual association while EEG signals were acquired, subsequently analysed using independent component analysis. The results indicated that strong connectivity was observed among the prefrontal, frontal, and cingulate cortices, and the default mode network. The experts used both hemispheres and executive functions to support their association tasks, whereas the novices mainly used their right hemisphere and memory retrieval functions. The visual association of experts appeared to be more goal-directed than that of the novices. Accordingly, designing and implementing authentic and goal-directed activities for improving the executive functions of the prefrontal cortex and default mode network are critical for design educators and creativity researchers.

Although social entrepreneurship has been the subject of considerable research and practitioner attention, detailed studies of the potential entrants, their perception of business performance, and the factors influencing this perception are rare. This study reviewed empirical data to determine how the imaginative capacities of potential entrepreneurs affect their perceived success in operating agrisocio enterprises. The reliability and validity, and the direct and interactive effects among different imaginative capacities were analysed. The study indicated that although conceiving and transforming imagination were positively related to all the dimensions of perceived performance, initiating imagination was negatively related to the dimensions of business operations and service programmes. Some interactions among the three types of imagination were also found. This study contributes to the social entrepreneurship literature by theorising and testing how imaginative capacities can be beneficial to potential entrants for perceiving business success.

Silicon Intellectual Property

主講人：張原熏 副總經理

矽智財，全稱智慧財產權核，是在積體電路的可重用設計方法學中，指某一方提供的、形式為邏輯單元、晶片設計的可重用模組。矽智財通常已經通過了設計驗證，設計人員以矽智財為基礎進行設計，可以縮短設計所需的周期。矽智財可以通過協議由一方提供給另一方，或由一方獨自占有。矽智財的概念源於產品設計的專利證書和原始碼的版權等。設計人員能夠以矽智財為基礎進行特殊應用積體電路或現場可程式化邏輯閘陣列的邏輯設計，以減少設計周期。

矽智財分為軟核、硬核和固核。軟核通常是與製程無關、具有暫存器傳輸級硬體描述語言描述的設計代碼，可以進行後續設計；硬核是前者通過邏輯綜合、布局、布線之後的一系列表徵文件，具有特定的製程形式、物理實現方式；固核則通常介於上面兩者之間，它已經通過功能驗證、時序分析等過程，設計人員可以以邏輯閘級網表的形式獲取。

AI Music

主講人：蘇黎 博士

Research in artificial intelligence (AI) is known to have impacted medical diagnosis, stock trading, robot control, and several other fields. Perhaps less popular is the contribution of AI in the field of music. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence and music (AIM) has, for a long time, been a common subject in several conferences and workshops, including the International Computer Music Conference, the Computing Society Conference and the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. In fact, the first International Computer Music Conference was the ICMC 1974, Michigan State University, East Lansing, US. Current research includes the application of AI in music composition, performance, theory and digital sound processing.

人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence）的運用越來越廣泛，像是個人語音助理如蘋果 Siri、微軟 Cortana，以及分別擊敗人類西洋棋與圍棋高手的 IBM Deep Blue、Google DeepMind AlphaGo 都是人工智慧研究的結晶，同時電腦作畫譜曲創作劇本這種創造性的事物也陸續地出現，最近 Google 把 AI 延伸到了創作音樂的領域。

Taiwanese food

臺灣。好呷

The Taiwanese capital, Taipei, has about 20 streets dedicated to food. Every time you think you've found the best streetside bao, the most incredible stinky tofu or mind-blowing beef noodle soup, there's another Taiwanese food shop that surpasses it.

The island's food is a mash-up of the cuisine of the Min Nan, Teochew and Hokkien Chinese communities, along with Japanese cooking techniques. It's a culinary love-in with diversely delicious offspring.

Air Transport

航空科技

Aviation, or air transport, refers to the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as balloons and airships.

Aviation began in the 18th century with the development of the hot air balloon, an apparatus capable of atmospheric displacement through buoyancy. Some of the most significant advancements in aviation technology came with the controlled gliding flying of Otto Lilienthal in 1896; then a large step in significance came with the construction of the first powered airplane by the Wright brothers in the early 1900s. Since that time, aviation has been technologically revolutionized by the introduction of the jet which permitted a major form of transport throughout the world.

The perfect integration of sonic arts and modern dance

聲音藝術與現代舞的完美結合

Modern dance is often considered to have emerged as a rejection of, or rebellion against, classical ballet. Socioeconomic and cultural factors also contributed to its development. In the late 19th century, dance artists such as Isadora Duncan, Maud Allan, and Loie Fuller were pioneering new forms and practices in what is now called aesthetic or free dance for performance. These dancers disregarded ballet's strict movement vocabulary, the particular, limited set of movements that were considered proper to ballet, and stopped wearing corsets and pointe shoes in the search for greater freedom of movement.

Sound art is an artistic discipline in which sound is utilised as a primary medium. Like many genres of contemporary art, sound art may be interdisciplinary in nature, or be used in hybrid forms. Sound art can be considered as being an element of many areas such as acoustics, psychoacoustics, electronics, noise music, audio media, found or environmental sound, soundscapes, explorations of the human body, sculpture, architecture, film or video and other aspects of the current discourse of contemporary art

Taipei Artist Village and Treasure Hill Artist Village

臺北國際藝術村和寶藏巖國際藝術村

On October 12, 2001, the Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs unveiled Taipei Artist Village, at No. 7 Beiping East Road. Based on the concept of reutilizing vacant city spaces, the city government declared a new purpose for the facility – a former office building of the Taipei City Department of Public Maintenance and Construction – as a space where artists could create and live. Through its artist-in-residence program, TAV would allow artists from both Taiwan and abroad to interact with the local community, integrating the special character of Taipei City and serving as a bridge between different cultures, fulfilling the social responsibilities of art. The complex had a completely new look, and a new mission: to practically promote cultural diversity centered on the city.

濕地故事館

2004年構築於大漢溪新海橋下游右岸河灘地，以削減污染為主要訴求的新海人工濕地誕生，從此讓大漢溪河岸景緻悄悄地發生變化，禾草叢生的河灘地逐漸被星羅棋佈的濕地點綴著。自2004-2010年之間發展至今計有鹿角溪、城林、打鳥埤、浮洲、新海(一至三期) 、以及華江等8處人工濕地，及另亦建構了鶯歌、三峽、浮洲等3處礫間水質淨化系統，儼然成為國內最大規模的河廊清水工程，除對改善大漢溪水質具有相當效益外，更是孕育濕地文化的重要生態場域。

2010年新北市政府環境保護局於435藝文特區內「思源圖書館」進行「濕地故事館」之規劃，將大漢溪流域人工濕地之人文、自然及生態資源進行完整的介紹，並以濕地生態廊道作為主軸，將濕地多樣性的生態予以濃縮呈現，搭配互動式多媒體設備與導覽解說設施，塑造一個多元架構與深度體驗的環境教育場域。而在舊建築再生的過程中，同步導入太陽能清淨能源供應館內部分用電，再加上綠屋頂及中水回收的水資源再利用，以具體行動彰顯節能減碳的決心。期待藉由「濕地故事館」的營造，可以提供一個民眾參與和學習的平台，讓人們可以在435藝文特區的文藝氛圍中，譜出水綠交織的新樂曲。
