We attended the 28th Annual Meeting of the Japan Human Brain Mapping Society, held from Friday, March 20, to Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Arcrea HIMEJI, where we presented numerous posters. Additionally, Professor Takemura served as a chair for the symposium titled "Next generation of brain imaging analysis: from computer science to physiology and anatomy." The session was highly engaging, with lively discussions throughout.
