The ERATO Inami JIZAI Body Project aims to establish a "body editing" technology that supports a human to efficiently and freely interact and perform desired actions with human assistive robots, and artificial intelligence, while maximizing the "unity of human and machine" and preserving the sense of self-agency. Furthermore, utilizing cognitive psychological approaches and neuroimaging, the project will investigate the neural processes underlying the body editing and define the constraints and limits of acquiring a human-machine body image in real and virtual societies. Ultimately the project intends to update the human body in the era of the super smart society.
