X00 Administrative research on hyper-adaptability for overcoming body-brain dysfunction

Our research project aims at the understanding of the principles of hyper-adaptability; a key function of the brain for managing acute/chronic impairments and frailty, on the basis of strong cooperation framework between neuroscience and systems engineering.

In order to promote a smooth research activities of the project, the management group promotes the following three activities.
(1) acceleration of collaborative researches and joint use of the research facilities in the project. (2) promotion of our presence at international conferences and journals. (3) encouragement of the young researches by granting, supporting research abroad, and organizing a young researcher’s group.

This group regularly holds steering committee meetings to determine research policy. At the end of each fiscal year, this group plans to have annual meetings to evaluate the progress of all research projects and enhance mutual collaboration among the researchers. To promote internationalization of the program, the group holds international workshops/symposia occasionally. With regard to outreach activities, the group organizes public symposia, and constantly publishes our activities on the website.
