The objective of our laboratory is to develop effective techniques for personalized support that encourage behavioral change and promote brain plasticity in individuals pursuing their goals. This includes acquiring new skills, mastering learning, and maintaining healthy behaviors. Our plan is to establish predictive models that can visualize and characterize diverse individuals based on brain structural differences and biological information. These models will be constructed using machine learning and deep learning on multimodal images obtained from functional brain imaging, such as MRI. Our objective is to apply biometric information, IoT technology, and behavioral economics theory to create an optimization-goal achievement support system.Furthermore, it pursues building a community that promotes the well-being of children, women, and the elderly in an aging society with a declining birthrate. Our goal is to establish a "WELL Community," a community where individuals who believe in the importance of looking after children can come together to learn and support one another in achieving a state of well-being that encompasses mental and physical health, happiness, and a sense of accomplishment.
