OnlineSymposium

Revealing relationships among cognitive functions, among emotions, and among concepts using neuroscience-based approaches

Accumulation of knowledge in neuroscience has told not only how the brain per se behaves but also how and what things generated by the brain including diverse cognitive abilities, emotions, semantic concepts, and worldviews are. This facilitates understanding of human beings and human society as well as provides the road maps to develop the brain-inspired artificial intelligence. In this symposium, we show the current direction of researches contributing to reveal relationships among cognitive functions, among emotions, and among concepts using neuroscience-based approaches.
This symposium will be conducted as is a hybrid style in which both English and Japanese are used. In the first half, we will conduct the session as is in a common English symposium. In the second half, the speakers will use the English slides with speaking Japanese. In the Q&A parts of the second half, both English and Japanese are OK.
