Ushiba Laboratory [Neuro-Connect Technology]: Aiming to Create Next-Generation Medicine from the Faculty of Science and Technology

At the Ushiba Laboratory in the Department of Biosciences and Informatics, Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University, we take an approach of describing the function and structure of the nervous system using electrophysiological methods and imaging techniques to understand the human brain as a system. Furthermore, to elucidate the process by which the brain learns bodily movements to adapt to changes in the body's state and the external environment, we also conduct research using an approach that describes the process based on control theory, viewing the brain as a controller and the limbs as a plant.

The experimental and theoretical findings obtained in this way are then applied to research aimed at developing a new medical technology called Neuro-Connect Technology.
