(Details)
We gratefully thank Prof. Theoden Netoff (International Advisor, University of Minnesota), Prof. Jordi Soriano (International Advisor, University of Barcelona), Dr. Brett J. Kagan (Cortical Labs, Australia), and Prof. Tomonari Murakami (University of Tokyo), who delivered outstanding presentations as our invited speakers. A total of 104 people from Japan, the U.S., Australia, Spain, Sweden, and Italy participated. The COVID pandemic, which has been continuing since the launch of the project, is finally coming to an end, and this year's event was held in a hybrid format with a focus on in-person meetings. We were reminded of the importance of face-to-face exchanges, not only among the members of the Project, but also in frank discussions with speakers from overseas about new collaborative research possibilities.

Seminar by Prof. Pawel Herman was held
2022.11.18
We co-hosted a seminar by Prof. Pawel Herman (Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden), who is staying in Japan as a Visiting Associate Professor at the RIEC, Tohoku University. He introduced the self-organized formation of cell assemblies in the Baysian Confidence Propagation Neural Network, which was formulated as a biologically-plausible learning rule, as well as examples of its machine learning applications. The seminar was attended by 17 people at the on-site venue and 32 people in the Zoom. This seminar was hosted by the "Nano-Spintronics Engineering Research Group" of the RIEC Nation-wide Cooperative Research Projects (Type T).

The 3rd Research Area Meeting was held
2022.09.07
For the first time since the launch of our Project, the meeting was held in a hybrid format, mixing in-person meetings with Zoom. The face-to-face meeting was held at Future University Hakodate with all members of Group A01, Prof. Horio (A01 Advisor), and Hideaki Yamamoto (Head Investigator). The other group members, advisors, and Prof. Miwa from the MEXT, were connected via Zoom. A great thanks to Prof. Katori for setting up the hybrid meeting.
