Team (Planned Research)

We set the following four Research Groups to advance towards Biological Supremacy in the three domains.

A01 Information Science Group: Extract metrics from large-scale data on multicellular neuronal dynamics (Matsui Team) and formulate them as mathematical models (Katori Team).

A02 Bioengineering Group: Build biointerface technologies (Tanii Team) to test the models formulated for normal (Yamamoto Team) and pathological (Hirano-Iwata Team) networks in living neurons.

A03 Systems Neuroscience Group: Obtain physiological data on multicellular computing and underlying synaptic functions using in vivo calcium imaging (Masumizu Team) and electrophysiological recording (Kamiya Team).

A04 Hardware Applications Group: Develop hardware for implementing multicellular models (Kohno Team) and apply it for adaptive robot (Hirata Team).
