Systems Neuroscience Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how the mind arises, using the brain and mathematical models.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking time with the brain to ask about intelligence and the mind
The Komura Lab studies how the mind arises, based on the workings of the brain.
As artificial intelligence advances, the lab pursues its research in connection with the questions of how natural intelligence and artificial intelligence will come to terms with each other, and what intelligence is in the first place.
The lab works on the mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness, brain rhythms and self-organization, meta-learning and causal inference, cross-species comparison and neural networks, and more.
It is a lab that considers humans by comparing them with animals and machines, and its members include people who like living things, mathematical and information sciences, making things, and design.
Key terms
- Systems biology
- An approach that treats genes, cells, neural circuits, and so on as one connected system and tries to understand how the whole works.
- Meta-learning
- A mechanism by which, beyond learning individual tasks, one acquires the way of learning itself from experience.
- Attentional blink
- A phenomenon in which the second of two targets appearing in succession is missed for a short time. Attention temporarily fails to keep up.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab takes on the question of how the mind arises by taking time to face the brain directly. By comparing not only humans but also animals and machines, it considers what it means to be human.
A multifaceted approach to how the mind arises
The lab approaches how the mind arises from multiple angles, using methods such as systems biology, which captures the brain across multiple levels from micro to macro; mathematical modeling that incorporates machine learning and statistical mechanics; and cognitive and behavioral science from an evolutionary perspective.
Mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness
The lab works on the mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness. It published a paper that examined, in monkeys and humans, the period during an attentional blink when what was seen does not reach consciousness.
