Is brain research really good for anything? Is brain research really good for anything? Cognitive neuroscience elucidates the mysteries of the human mind and behavior as a combination of information processing (cognitive processes) in the brain. To utilize this research field to address social challenges arising from issues of the mind, researchers from various fields and parties in the field gather to create "collective knowledge" that integrates diverse humanities and natural sciences, and to develop human resources in this field. We welcome your participation in various ways, including organizing research meetings, conducting joint research, and enrolling in graduate school.
