The human brain has evolved by adapting to various tools that humans invented by themselves, including characters and telephones. This fact may indicate that the brain has potential for adapting even to new yet-unknown tools or environments in the future.

In this project, we aim to address, using artificial intelligence (AI), how the brain is plastic enough to handle complex technologies and explore the new dimension of the latent ability of the brain. To unveil the potentials of the brain, we will utilize and develop techniques and tools in neuroscience and machine learning for the brain signals.

In the Additional Research Period, we will expand the ERATO research results that we have achieved and build a path towards future application to humans. Together with the Brain-AI Hybrid Center at the University of Tokyo, we will continue to collaborate with domestic/international research institutions and companies to conduct verification to expand brain functions and clinical application.
