R&D Project
Goal 9 R&D Projects (Selected in FY2021)Development of “Jizai Hon-yaku-ki (At-will Translator)” connecting various minds based on brain and body functions
Project manager (PM)TSUTSUI Ken-IchiroProfessor, Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University
Summary of the project
This project aims to develop a Jizai Hon-yaku-ki (At-will Translator) to support communications in various situations, contributing to an inclusive society. Neuroscientists, molecular biologists, and VR/AR and robotics engineers will collaborate to develop technologies to quantify states of mind and methods for perceptual, cognitive, and motor interventions. A Jizai Hon-yaku-ki will be produced by combining these technologies and methods, facilitating the communication of individuals and small groups.
Milestone by year 2032
- Establish a unified methodology of mind quantification based on physiological data from the brain, autonomous nervous system, and exosomes.
- Improve the functions of Jizai Hon-yaku-ki and establish a general method of userled R&D.
Milestone by year 2027
- Establish methods of multi-dimension mind quantification
- Develop a prototype of Jizai Hon-yaku-ki.
