The Kio University Neurorehabilitation Research Center has been participating in joint research between Japan and France, including the French National Institute of Health and Medicine, for five and a half years with the theme of "elucidation of the mechanism of narrative embodiment and its application to VR intervention technology." Proceed with research.
This research theme, "Elucidation of the mechanism of narrative embodiment and its application to VR intervention technology," is a collaboration between the Japan Science and Technology Agency's "JST Strategic Creative Research Promotion Project (CREST)" to investigate biological multi-sensing systems and develop utilization technologies. It was selected in the area of creation (commonly known as multi-sensing).
CREST aims to generate the seeds of creative and outstanding innovative technologies based on new scientific knowledge to address important issues facing Japan, and promotes research by multiple best teams led by top researchers.The acceptance rate for FY 2023 is low at 64 out of 4.It also ranks among the top in terms of competitive scientific research funding in Japan.
This time, we received research funds of 5 million yen in 6 years and 2.74 months.Furthermore, we submitted a joint proposal between Japan and France, and it was also adopted by the French National Research Institute.The research will be carried out on the Japanese side by Professor and Director Shu Morioka of the Neurorehabilitation Research Center, Professor Sotaro Shimada of the Meiji University Faculty of Science and Engineering (Cognitive Science), and Professor Sotaro Shimada of the Meiji University Faculty of Science and Engineering (Cognitive Science), and Tokai University Graduate School of Letters (Philosophy and Phenomenology). ) Professor Shogo Tanaka's 3 laboratories.From France, Professor Yves Rossetti (Cognitive Science) of the French National Institute of Health and Medicine and the French National Center for Scientific Research, Professor Gilles Rode (Rehabilitation Medicine) of the Lyon University Hospital Faculty of Medicine, and Professor Jean-Michel Roy of the École Normale Supérieure of Lyon will participate. do.
The research area will be overseen by President Ryozo Nagai of Jichi Medical University, and the research supervisor will be Dr. Atsushi Iriki, a senior researcher at the RIKEN Future Strategy Office.International field management advisors include Dr. Anil Seth, professor at the School of Engineering and Informatics at the University of Sussex, and Dr. Karl Friston, professor at the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of London, who are leading international research.
