Research theme<\/h3>\n

Giving the sciences of the brain and the mind back to society\u2014Applied brain science based on integrated human sciences<\/p>\n

Overview of research<\/h3>\n

Modern society is faced with countless problems such as changes in industrial structures and increasing mobility of economic activities, environmental issues brought on inevitably by the development of cultures, advancements in information technology and the growing influence of the virtual world, and declining birth rates and ageing societies.<\/p>\n

In response to these problems, there are high expectations for the role of brain science research, which would also exert a ripple effect on medical science and biology, and even on various fields in the natural sciences including pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, engineering, and information science. However, in order to deal with complex problems such as those listed above, it is essential to conduct further in-depth research on the structure and functions of the brain as a separate organ, while developing the field of integrated human sciences, which aims for an integrated understanding of humans. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the development of applied brain science based on integrated human sciences.<\/p>\n

In view of the issues facing modern society as described above, this research project aims to provide organic linkages and significantly develop the potential of the sciences of the brain and mind that the Faculties of Human Sciences and Sports Sciences have accumulated over 20 years along the lines of applied brain science. Its goal is also to give back to society the actual results achieved in the research project. The fields of specialization of the participating researchers cover a wide range-from the bio-sciences relating to research on the physical aspects of the brain as an organ, to the behavioral and social sciences relating to research on the individual, society, and environment. In addition, the group is also armed with particular expertise in this theme from the perspective of lifespan development, such as in relation to growth and ageing. Here, by incorporating an angle to look at the measuring of the functions of the human brain, it would be possible to draw organic linkages through the comparison of common variables present in each field.<\/p>\n
