The 春雨直播app International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN), Teikyo University Advanced Comprehensive Research Organization (ACRO), and RIKEN Center for Brain Science (RIKEN CBS) have recently joined forces to establish the “Alliance for Brain Science” to promote a comprehensive collaborative scheme between these three leading institutes.
As the first flagship project, the “Athlete Cognitive Neuroscience Program” will be launched in 2024. This program aims to cultivate a new field of research by exploring the relationship between consciousness and performance in skilled athletes from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience and, in particular, deepening our biological understanding of the yips, which often damages elite athletes’ careers. Moreover, future findings will be applied to develop new ways of supporting para-athletes and senior athletes, as well as to advance novel rehabilitation methods and unique AI development. The program is expected to encompass various future projects involving the comprehensive collaboration between the University of Tokyo, Teikyo University, and RIKEN.
