Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to apply neuromodulation and brain machine interface technology to human social interaction and promote appropriate plasticity induction, the measurement of inter-subject brain activity during the teach-learning that needs other-person interaction as like real life was carried out. We clarified the importance of metacognition and others' speculation in mutual social interaction. A prefrontal cortex is considered as a stimulation target of adaptive plasticity induction for human social interaction, and it is thought that human social interaction alters by adaptive plastic induction using neuromodulation according to brain activity.
