Summary of the project
This project aims to realize a society in which people can live a Maemuki (forward-looking) life even in the midst of adversity. To this end, we will clarify the diverse and multifaceted components of "positivity," calculate positivity indices by measuring physical posture and brain/physiological reactions, and establish technologies to assist, train, and educate people on positivity factors tailored to their individual situations through positivity support technologies.

Milestone by year 2032
Establish Maemuki (forward-looking) estimation technology based on unobservable measurements, and establish forward-looking assist technology, training technology, and support infrastructure.
Milestone by year 2027
Establish a method for estimating mental "positivity" from physical information and clarify context-appropriate positivity factors and their degree.
