Satellite Symposia
Insight, foresight, and decision making: Frontiers of higher brain function research.
| Date | July 19, 2017 13:00-17:45 |
|---|---|
| Venue | 302, 3F, International Conference Hall, Makuhari Messe |
| Sponsor | Tohoku University, National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) |
| Organizers | Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui (Tohoku University) Masaki Isoda (National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS)) |
| Speakers | Markus Ullsperger (Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg) Keren Haroush (Harvard University) Philippe Tobler (University of Zurich) Leah Somerville (Harvard University) Lauren Atlas (NIH) Masaki Isoda (National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS)) Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui (Tohoku University) |
| Purpose of the symposium | By using their well-developed cerebral cortex, humans and other primates comprehend the world they live in and the individuals they interact with. They select actions based on predictions of likely changes in the environment and of actions of other individuals. As a consequence, they can efficiently achieve their behavioral goals by minimizing the influences of external factors. In this symposium, speakers who investigate the neural mechanisms of adaptive decision-making from various perspectives, such as reward and punishment expectation, categorical recognition and logical thought process, self-monitoring and self-control, predictions of the behavior of other individuals, action selection based on interactions with other individuals, and growth-related maturation of behavior, will gather and provide an overview of the current state of the art. |

Computational principles of the nervous system: from the observations of neural population activity
| Date | July 24, 2017 |
|---|---|
| Venue | Tetsumon Memorial Hall, Faculty of Medicine Experimental Research Building |
| Sponsor | CREST/JST, "BIODYNAMICS" |
| Organizer | Yuichi Iino (Graduate School of Science, the University of Tokyo) |
| Speakers | Kenji Doya (OIST) Ralph Greenspan (UCSD) Takeshi Ishihara (Kyushu University) Yuishi Iwasaki (Ibaraki University) Tomoki Kurikawa (RIKEN) Ruben Portugues (Max Planck Inst.) Yuki Sugaya (University of Tokyo) Yasuhiro Tanaka (University of Tokyo) Yu Toyoshima (University of Tokyo) Ichiro Tsuda (Chubu University) Manuel Zimmer (IMP, Vienna) |
| Purpose of the symposium | In this symposium, we will put together latest research activities in neuroscience on high-throughput observations of neural activities and those on theoretical analyses of the neural activity data. We will focus on both state-of-the-art methodologies and the resulting understanding of the dynamics of the nervous system and its relationship with the behavior. Ideas coming out from different experimental systems will be discussed, which will provide overview of the current status and future directions of the field. |

Neuroscience of Consciousness: Beyond Neural Correlates of Consciousness
| Date | July 24, 2017 |
|---|---|
| Venue | National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology |
| Sponsor | National Institute of Radiological Sciences, National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology |
| Organizers | Minoru Asada (Osaka University) Naotsugu Tsuchiya (Monash University) Makiko Yamada (National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology) |
| Speakers | Ryota Kanai (Araya) Shinsuke Shimojo (California Institute of Technology) Hakwa Lau（UCLA） Masafumi Oizumi (Araya) Naotsugu Tsuchiya (Monash University) Makiko Yamada (National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology) Shigeru Taguchi (Hokkaido University) Yukie Nagai (Osaka University) Minoru Asada (Osaka University) |
| Purpose of the symposium | Historically, “consciousness” has been the major interest in the fields of philosophy and psychology. However, since the proposal of “Neural Correlates of Consciousness (NCC)” by Crick & Koch, consciousness has become the scientific target in neuroscience. In this symposium, consciousness researchers from not just neuroscience but also philosophy, physics, robotics, and artificial intelligence get together and discuss the current establishments in the science of consciousness and the future direction beyond NCC. |
