53rd NIPS International Symposium
Neural Dynamics and Information Processing in the Brain and Body
Venue: Okazaki Conference Center (in-person)
Tenma 8-1, Myodaiji, Okazaki, Aichi, Japan
8th - 10th February 2024
Japan Standard Time (JST)
We aim to further advance research in related fields by gathering scientists from within the country and abroad who study the dynamics and information processing of neural activity in the brain and body, sharing research findings and academic information, and engaging in exchange of opinions. In particular, by organizing a symposium focused on researchers involved in cutting-edge measurement, manipulation, and analysis methods of neural activity and body signals targeting mainly humans, including scalp electroencephalography, electrocorticography, magnetoencephalography including OPM-MEG, electrogastrography, and non-invasive brain stimulation, we promote collaborative research and facilitate exchange of opinions, providing opportunities for further development in related fields.
Organizer: Keiichi Kitajo (National Institute for Physiological Sciences)
