- Department of Neuroinformatics
Our goal is to establish novel communication technology that directly connects the brain machines using decoded neural information. - Department of Brain Robot Interface
The goal of our study is to control an exoskeleton and/or a humanoid robot using brain activity. - Decoded Neurofeedback
We developed the decoded neurofeedback (DecNef) method to lead brain activity to a target state. - Department of Qualia Structures
We aim to elucidate the relationship between qualia structure and information structure
- Department of Cognitive Neuroscience
Our objective is to clarify the cognitive and learning mechanisms using computational theories, psychological experiments and brain activity measurements. - Department of Dynamic Brain Imaging
We develop brain reading and feedback techniques focusing on the dynamic aspect of brain signals using large-scale computing. - Department of Neural Computation for Decision-making
We aim to elucidate the neural mechanisms of decision-making by computational approaches, and apply them to solve social, economic, and medical problems.
- Department of Computational Brain Imaging
The goal of our research is to develop analysis tools to clarify human brain functions and communication techniques based on brain activities. - Department of AI-Brain Integration
We aim to induce co-evolution of brain and artificial intelligence (Al), hence leading to development of novel Al technologies that mimic brain functions.
