Outline of Final Research Achievements

As the management team of the research area “Correspondence and Fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Brain Science", we aimed to promote collaborations of researchers inside and outside the researrh area, to train young researchers in the interdisciplinary research field, and to publicize the research accomplishments widely to the society.
The Planning and Executive Committee held area meetings twice a year to promote joint research, and organized joint symposia and workshops to provide the forums for discussions among researchers from wide fields.The Development Support Committee held the "Brain Science and Artificial Intelligence" summer school twice and supported the dispatches of students and researchers between labs for continuous joint research.The Public Relations Committee publicized the research results through updating the area website, publishing newsletters, and holding outreach events.
