RIKEN BRAIN SCIENCE INSTITUTE

Summer Program 2009



1. テーマ:Interacting Brains
Brains are critical for interaction of individual animals with others of the same species, and with the external environment.  Lectures in this course will discuss how brains of a diverse range of animals are specialized for such interactions, from molecular to systems levels. Lectures will also address how interaction with external world can alter brain function, how disorders of brain function can disturb interactions with others and objects, and how investigation of these brain mechanisms can inform the creation of artificial agents to interact with humans and objects.
