■ Moonshot Project "Internet of Brains

The ultimate goal of this project is to realize the "Internet of Brains (IoB)," in which the brain is connected to the Internet using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology to freely operate CA in cyber-physical space, where cyber space and real space merge, and to communicate directly with other people and AI. We are aiming to realize the "Internet of Brains (IoB)".

IN RESPONSE TO THIS AMBITIOUS GOAL, CURRENT EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING AND STUDYING A VARIETY OF BMI APPROACHES, INCLUDING INVASIVE, NON-INVASIVE, MINIMALLY INVASIVE, AND EVEN NON-CONTACT APPROACHES TO PROMOTE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.

■ NeuroHatch, a research support service for neuroscience

In recent years, research and product development using information obtained from living organisms has accelerated in various business fields, including the development of neurotech solutions and products with biosensing functions, the elucidation of brain functions, and the development of treatments for brain-derived diseases. NeuroHatch supports all stages of product development using brain science research and physiological indicators, from analysis of brain data such as EEG and MRI, and biological data such as heartbeat, respiration, and perspiration, to optimal test design and algorithm development based on the data. We will support all stages of product development using cranial neuroscience research and physiological indices.

• DATA ANALYSIS SUPPORT: ANALYSIS OF BRAIN DATA AND BIOLOGICAL DATA SUCH AS EEG, MRI, PET, ETC., USING AI AND THE LATEST METHODS AND KNOWLEDGE.
• Study design: We support the smooth implementation of studies by selecting optimal subjects, proposing measurement methods, and creating study protocols according to the study objectives.
• Data Acquisition: High-quality brain and biological data acquisition by professional staff. We also support the acquisition of in-house data acquisition skills.
• AI ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT/IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT: SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF AI ALGORITHMS USING ACQUIRED DATA AND IMPLEMENTATION IN PROGRAMMED MEDICAL DEVICES, ETC.

■ How to promote brain science research using open data and external research institutions

The presentation will introduce databanks from around the world, how to utilize open data, and research case studies in preliminary validation and patenting. We will also delve into how to build an effective ecosystem from data collection and analysis platforms.

THE SEMINAR WILL THEN FOCUS ON EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF EXTERNAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND THEIR TIMING, BASED ON EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH SUPPORT FROM ARAYA. THROUGH THIS SEMINAR, PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN ABOUT CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH METHODS UTILIZING OPEN DATA AND THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION WITH EXTERNAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS, WITH THE AIM OF MAKING THE MOST OF THIS INFORMATION FOR THEIR OWN R&D AND RESEARCH DX PROMOTION.
