Brain Function Integration Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies brain-inspired computing, applying the mechanisms of the living brain to information processing.
AboutAbout the lab
Pioneering computing technologies that exploit the characteristics of living systems.
The Brain Function Integration Lab pioneers computing technologies that exploit the characteristics of living systems.
The brain is a network of a vast number of connected neurons, and it processes information on principles entirely different from those of digital computers.
The lab seeks to understand this biological information processing from an engineering perspective and to link it to next-generation brain-inspired information processing systems and to new health science and medical technologies.
In its research, the lab uses artificial neuronal circuits as models of brain neural circuits, and it is also advancing implementation in "wetware" based on cultured neurons.
Key terms
- Artificial neuronal circuits
- The lab's original technology. A network of artificially built neurons, used as a model of the neural circuits of the brain
- Cultured neurons
- Neurons grown outside the body, for example in a culture dish. They serve as material for studying how the brain processes information and how diseases work
- Wetware
- A system that performs computation using biological material, such as cultured neurons, instead of electronic circuits
ResearchResearch themes
The lab seeks to understand the ingenious information processing of living systems from an engineering perspective and to link it to next-generation brain-inspired information processing systems and to health science and medical technologies that support a super-aging society. In parallel, it applies culture techniques for human neurons, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease and brain injury, and to realize culture-based models of them.
