Research.
Currently, we are challenging the issues of intention to move, theoretically and experimentally. This concerns how our brain drives our planning to move and switches on the behavior. In other words, this problem includes how the switch-on circuit is self-organized and activated in the brain. We assume that our intention is evoked by nonlinear dynamics of neural networks and transmitted immediately across over the brain.
Here, we have two approaches: Modeling and Experimental approaches.
![]() Brain Imaging |
This is a way of observation on real brains in psychological experiments. We will deliberately analyze the state of the brain using EEG data when the brain begins preparing to move. This result may elucidate the mechanism of evoking voluntary action circuits. |
![]() Brain Nonlinear Dynamics Simulation |
This is a mathematical modeling approach, which imitates the structure and dynamics of neural networks in the brain. We aim to elucidate the emergent information processing function of the brain by examining dynamical properties of the models. |
