Outline of Final Research Achievements

This is a management team in the Transformative Research Areas B, "Mechanisms of Understanding and Breaking the Limits of the Brain-Mind." This team was responsible for the overall operation of the field, assisting in the implementation of collaborative research between planning teams and planned research, facilitating the sharing and discussion of research content through team meetings, and engaging in activities to accelerate and deepen research. We also conducted activities to widely disseminate the efforts and achievements of the field to researchers and the general public through web pages, social media, symposiums, and other means. So far, we have held team meetings twice a year and organized public international symposiums outside the field (such as the Japan Neuroscience Society).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本課題は、学術変革領域B「心脳限界のメカニズム解明とその突破」における総括班である。従って、課題それ自体では研究成果の創出は行わないが、領域のマネジメント役として、班会議やシンポジウムの開催、ウェブページやSNSの運営、事務連絡等を通した領域内共同研究や計画研究のサポートを担うという点で、本領域には欠かせない役割を果たした。
