On August 24th, the 2024 International Conference on Sensing and Imaging (ICSI 2024), hosted by the University of Science and Technology of China, the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, and the journal Sensing and Imaging, and organized by the Medical Technology Research Institute of Peking University Health Science Center, was grandly opened in Huangshan, Anhui Province.

The opening ceremony of the conference was attended by the co-chairs, Professor Han Hongbin, Director of the Medical Technology Research Institute at Peking University Health Science Center, and Professor Wu Feng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of the University of Science and Technology of China. Also present were Professor Jiang Ming from Peking University, Professor Zhang Zhaotian, Executive Deputy Director of the Information Science Division of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Professor Nathan Ida from the University of Akron (USA), Professor Peter Maaß from the University of Bremen (Germany), along with experts, scholars, and researchers from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other countries. A total of over 100 participants attended the opening ceremony. The ceremony was hosted by Professor Xie Qingguo from the University of Science and Technology of China.

During the opening ceremony, Professor Han Hongbin, the conference chair, delivered a welcoming speech to the attending experts and scholars. He warmly welcomed all participants and expressed that the rapid development and remarkable achievements of the International Conference on Sensing and Imaging would not have been possible without the outstanding contributions of these experts and scholars. Professor Han briefly introduced the interdisciplinary development approach and strategies of the Peking University Health Science Center and emphasized the hope that this international conference would serve as a platform to witness advancements in various cutting-edge areas of sensing and imaging technologies. He further pointed out the goal of deepening collaboration between clinical medicine, information science, and life sciences, thereby promoting innovation and development in related projects.

The conference invited six top scientists from around the world to deliver keynote lectures, while over 80 renowned scholars presented invited talks across eight sessions, fully showcasing the latest research developments and scientific achievements in the field of sensing and imaging technologies.

In his keynote lecture, Professor Han Hongbin introduced his team's exploration of treating brain diseases by modulating molecular transport within the extracellular space of brain cells. Professor Han emphasized the critical role of the extracellular space as the primary working environment of neural networks, which is essential for drug delivery and action. He presented the latest research advancements from his team in areas such as molecular regulation within the brain extracellular space, brain disease treatment, and drug delivery. These findings illustrate how the research paradigm in brain science is shifting from the traditional "cell-vascular" model to the "cell-vascular-brain extracellular space" model, thereby laying a solid foundation for the exploration of the "final frontier" in brain science.
